Explanation:

Slope / gradient of a line is obtained by making an equation in the form of:

y=mx+c

where ' m ' gives the slope/gradient of the line and ' c ' gives y-intercept.

2x+y=17

y = −2x+17

Here comparing this with y=mx+c gives:

m = -2 (slope/gradient) and

c = 17 (y-intercept)

So slope / gradient of line :

m=−2

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b so the answer is

y = -2x + 17
