Question

identify the slope in the equation. *
$y=-7x+1$
$\bigcirc$ 1
$\bigcirc$ -7
$\bigcirc$ -7x
$\bigcirc$ y

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step2: Match given equation to form

Compare $y = -7x + 1$ with $y = mx + b$. The coefficient of $x$ is $m = -7$.

Answer:

B. -7
