hello!


==================================

the given equation is written in slope-intercept form, which looks like so:


\pmb{y=mx+b}

where


\pmb{m} is the slope of the line


\pmb{b} is the y-intercept of the line

in order to determine the slope & the y-intercept, just look at the equation:


\pmb{y=3x-7}

slope:
\pmb{3}

y-intercept:
\pmb{-7} or (
\pmb{0, -7})


===================================

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any more explanation, kindly let me know.

Y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y intercept
Given m = 3, b = -7
The slope is 3
The y intercept is (0,-7)
