Question

Write an equation of the line with a slope of -7 and y -intercept of 1

Answer 1

y = -7x + 1

You start with the equation y=mx+b.

m=slope= -7
b=y-int= 1

Answer 2

y=-1x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is -1

use y=mx+b

Plug the point into y=mx+b, -7=-1(1)+b

-7=-1+b

add 1 both sides the y- intercept is b=-6
