Answer

$y-0=-\dfrac{7}{4}(x-0)$

Work Step by Step

With the given points, $ (0,0)$ and $(-4,7),$ then \begin{align*} y_1&= 0 ,\\y_2&= 7 ,\\x_1&= 0 ,\text{ and }\\ x_2&= -4 .\end{align*} Using $m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$ or the Slope Formula, the slope, $m,$ of the line connecting the two given points is \begin{align*} m&= \dfrac{0-7}{0-(-4)} \\\\&= \dfrac{0-7}{0+4} \\\\&= \dfrac{-7}{4} \\\\&= -\dfrac{7}{4} .\end{align*} Using $ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) $ or the Point-Slope Form, with $m= -\dfrac{7}{4} $ and using the point $ (0,0) $, then \begin{align*} y-0=-\dfrac{7}{4}(x-0) .\end{align*} A Point-Slope Form of the line with the given conditions is $ y-0=-\dfrac{7}{4}(x-0) .$
