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

$-6x-7=0$

$-6x=7$

$x=-7/6$

How do you find the slope and intercept of y=-6x- 7 y=-6x- 7?
