the slope would be -2 because y = (-2)x - 7. Any number in front of the x is the slope. Also the number after that, the constant, would be the y-intercept. In this case it would be -7. The x-intercept, after entering it into a calculator, would be 3.5. So two points on the graph for example would be (3.5, 0) and (0, -7). Thats the best I have. =)

y int=-7 (0,-7)
x int=-3.5 (-3.5,0)
slope m=-2
