He equation shows the relationship between x and y: y = −7x + 9

What is the slope of the equation?

−7
−2
7
9

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-7x+9

y=mx+b

m=slope

y=y-intercept

In y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position

y = mx + b

y = -7x + 9

notice that in the m position, the number is -7. That means ur slope = -7

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
