I am going to graph
y = -7x and y = (1/7)x for you
www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+y+%3D+-7x+%2B1,+y+%3D+(1%2F7)x+%2B1+from+-10+to+10
let you decide how they are related.
Notice Wolfram used a different scale for the y-axis than the x-axis,
making y = (1/7)x look like it falls on the x-axis. It doesn't !
suggestion: plot a few points for each one, draw the straight line on a 1:1 scale grid.
