Question 49893
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.
