You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+y = -7.
\n" ); document.write( "Writing it in the slope-intercept form y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept,
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x -7.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, m = -1, y intercept = -7.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are right :)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "See the graph shown below - your graph should be something like this.\r

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation \"1+x+%2B+1+y+=+-7\" describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is \"-a%2Fb+=+-1%2F1\".
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -7/1 = -7.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -7/1 = -7.
  • Slope is -1/1 = -1.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-1*x+-7.
