what question are you wanting to be answered?
y=-7x+2
m=-7, so that's a negative slope.
b=2, so the y-intercept is (0,2). That's a postiive y-intercept.
Solve 0=-7x+2 to find the x-intercept.
7x=2
x=2/7
The x-intercept is (2/7,0), so that's a positive x-intercept.
You didn't describe the line. / / / / If the equation of the line is [ y = m x + b ] then [ y=(any number) x+b] has the same y-intercept, and [y=mx+any number] is parallel to it.
