Answer

$$y-7=-\frac{2}{3}(x+0)$$

Work Step by Step

We first find the slope: $$m=\frac{5-7}{3-0} = -\frac{2}{3}$$ 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: $$y-7=-\frac{2}{3}(x+0)$$
