Do you know how to graph a straight line by looking at the equation?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

That is in the form y = mx + b, which is the slope-intercept form. The -7 is in the b position, which is where the graph goes through the y axis. So your first point on your graph will be a single point ON the y axis at -7.
