Answer

$\boxed{y = x - 1}$

Steps

Step 1 ：The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step 2 ：We are given that the slope $m = 1$ and the line passes through the point $(-7,-8)$.

Step 3 ：We can substitute these values into the equation to find the y-intercept $b$.

Step 4 ：Given that $m = 1$ and $b = -1$, the final equation of the line is $y = x - 1$.

Step 5 ：$\boxed{y = x - 1}$
