Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y intercept

The first thing you must do is isolate y so that it is by itself on the left side of the equation:

-x = y + 7

Subtract 7 to both sides:

-x - 7 = y + 7 - 7

-x - 7 = y

Flip:

y = -x - 7

-x = y + 7 in slope intercept form is y = -x - 7

This means the slope is -1 and the y-intercept of the equation is (0, -7)
