[tex]f(x)=mx+b\to y=mx+b[/tex]

We have two points:

[tex](-3,\ 0);\ (-4,\ 7)[/tex]

The point slope form of the line:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Substitute

[tex]m=\dfrac{7-0}{-4-(-3)}=\dfrac{7}{-1}=-7[/tex]

[tex]y-0=-7(x-(-3))\\\\y=-7(x+3)\\\\y=-7x-21[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]f(x)=-7x-21[/tex]
