$m = - 7 and c = - 2$ $m = -7 and c= -2$

$f (x) = y$ $f(x) = y$ , so this is the equation of a straight line in standard form $y = m x + c$ $y = mx +c$

IN this form, $m$ $m$ represents the slope and $c$ $c$ gives the y-intercept.

Therefore we can read the answers directly from the given equation.

In $f (x) = - 7 x - 2, m = - 7 and c = - 2$ $f(x) = -7x-2, " " m = -7 and c= -2$

How do you find the slope and intercept of f(x)=−7x−2f(x) = -7x -2?
