The general slope intercept form of straight line is;
y = mx + c
y= dependent variable and plotted along vertical axis
x = independent variable and plotted along horizontal axis
m = slope of the straight line
c= y-intercept
The given equation is y= -5/6 x - 7.
By comparing given equation and general equation;
m= -5/6 and c=-7
The slope of the straight line is -5/6 and y-intercept is -7.
