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

y=-7x is just the line that passes through the origin with a slope of -7

I hope this helps!
