Regarding the equation: y = -7 + 6x
---
This equation is linear, because each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and the first power of a single variable.
---
Get this equation into standard-form: Ax + By = C
by algebra, like so:
---
y = -7 + 6x
6x - y = 7
Answer:
6x + (-1)y = 7
