Question

Fill in the blank with the correct response. The slope of the graph of y = -7x is

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -7x is a typical slope-intercept equation of a straight line.  Comparing it to

y = mx + b, we see that the slope, m, is -7 and the y-intercept, b, is 0.

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is -7

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = mx + c$

The $m$ indicates the slope/gradient of a graph
