Given the equation y=-5x+7
.
It is already in "slope-intercept" form:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
a.Find the slope of the graph of the line
m (slope) = -5
.
b. Find the y-intercept of the graph of the line. Write your answer as an ordered pair.
y-intercept at (0,7)
.
