Question

What is the slope of the line given by the equation below? If necessary, use the slash mark ( / ) for a fraction bar.

y = -7x

Answer 1

hints

y = mx+b has a slope of m

y = -7x is the same as y = -7x + 0

Answer 2

Don't get it?

Answer 3

example: y = 2x + 3 has a slope of 2 since m = 2

Answer 4

y = 2x+3 is in the form y = mx+b where m = 2, b = 3

Answer 5

So the slope of Y=-7X IS 0?

Answer 6

y = -7x + 0 is in the form y = mx+b

where

m = -7
b = 0
