Answer:

the minus sign

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the symbol for the additive opposite is the minus sign

The symbol for the multiplicative opposite is the inverse operation 1/x (I think)

So, yes, specific opposites have symbols, BUT...

Just saying "the opposite of" is too blurry to find one word that represents that.

15. = slope would be 7 and y-int would be -4
16. = slope would be -2/5 and y-int would be 0
17. = doesn’t have a y variable

slope intercept form is y=mx+b with the m being the slope and the b being the y-int. in some cases where the equation is not in this form you have to change it so it is in that form by using opposite operations
