Hello, hope you are having a nice day.

First, let's make sure the equation of our line is written in slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept Form looks like this:

y=mx+b

Where

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept (where the graph touches the y-axis)

For this line, 7 is the slope, and -8 is the y-intercept form.

Hope it helps. I am always glad to help. Please ask me if you have any queries.
