Question
The equation of a function is \(y=-7x-12\). If this function were graphed, what would its slope be?(1 point)

Answer 1

The equation of the function is given in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) represents the slope and \(b\) represents the y-intercept.

In the equation \(y = -7x - 12\), the coefficient of \(x\) is \(-7\). Therefore, the slope of the function is \(-7\).
