Question

What is the slope of the line given by the equation y = -7x?

Answer 1

-7

Explanation:

y=mx+b and m is the slope... here the y intercept is 0

y=-7x+0

Answer 2

→ Chapter : Equation of A Straight Line ←
≡ General equation of a straight line:
⇔
`y = mx+c`

≡ Solution:
⇔ To know the slope in the equation, we just need to see the variable of x

`y=-7x`
∴ So, the slope of this equation is
`\boxed{-7}`
