Answer

$$ y-7=-2(x+1)$$

Work Step by Step

We first find the slope using the equation for slope: $$ m=\frac{-3-7}{4-\left(-1\right)} \\ m=-2$$ We know that point slope form is expressed as $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line, and m is the slope of the line. Using this, we find that the equation of the line is: $$ y-7=-2(x+1)$$
