Question

The equation shows the relationship between x and y:

y=-7x +9
What is the slope of the equation?
-7
-2
7
9

Answer 1

the slope, m, is m = -7

Explanation:

We are given:

y = -7x + 9 and will compare this to the slope-intercept basic form

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

It is immediately evident that the slope, m, is m = -7
