The equation of a function is y=−7x−12

Question

y
=
−
7
x
−
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 \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

For the equation \( y = -7x - 12 \):

• The slope \( m \) is \(-7\).

Therefore, the slope of the function is \(-7\).
