Slope #=-6#
Y-intercept #= -7#
X intercept #-7/6#

The given equation is in the slope intercept form.

In such an equation the constant term is the y-intercept

The co-efficient of #x# is slope.

Given -

#y=-6x-7#

Slope #=-6#
Y-intercept #= -7#

x- intercept

Put #y=0#

Then

#-6x-7=0#

#-6x=7#

#x=-7/6#
