You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation of any straight line, called a $\"linear\"$ equation, can be written as: $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$ , where $\"m\"$ is the $\"slope\"$ of the line and $\"b\"$ is the $\"y-intercept\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "so, you have: $\"y+=+7+-2x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=-2\"$ and $\"b=7\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
