Hello Lisa, you're missing the 'x' in your expression:
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=-6-7
\n" ); document.write( "I'll assume it is:
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=-6x-7
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If so, then you can write:
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=-6x-7
\n" ); document.write( "as
\n" ); document.write( "y=-6x-7
\n" ); document.write( "Note: f(x) is essentially y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-6x-7
\n" ); document.write( "is in \"slope-intercept\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, from inspecting:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-6x-7
\n" ); document.write( "we see that
\n" ); document.write( "m = -6 (slope)
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(0,-7) is the y-intercept \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
