You can put this solution on YOUR website! The y intercept is -1 and the slope is -7. First graph the y-intercept by moving down unit on the y axis. With your pencil still on this point, move DOWN 7 units, and 1 unit to the RIGHT. Put a second point here. Connect the dots and the line should look like this. See my Lesson Plan called "Graphing and Slope of a Line" in Graphs.
