Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for `y = –x + 7`?

Answer 1

Any linear equation of the general form:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `y = mx+b`
is in slope intercept form with slope `m` and y-intercept `b`

`y =- x+7 = (-1)x+7` is an example of an equation in this form.

It has a slope of `(-1)` and a y-intercept of`7`
