OK. Let's think rationally. The equation is
y=mx+b
m is the slope, so -3/7 is the slope
b is the y intercept, when x is 0, it's given that y is -5, hence -5 is the y intercept.
Therefore, you equation is Y= -3/7x-5

The basic straight line is Y = mX. If it goes thru (0,5) with slope -3/7 the equation becomes (Y-5) = (-37)(X - 0) = -3X/7. You cac do the algebra for the aX By form

b(-5) = -3/7

given slope, m = -3/7
y intercept is when x = 0, thus, here, y intercept, c is -5
thus the eqn is y = -3/7x -5
or, 3x + 7y = -35

m = -3/7
b = -5
y = (-3/7)x - 5
(3/7)x + y = -5
3x + 7y = -35

I agree with all answerers who put 3x+7y=-35
