Slope: -1
Intercept: 7

Explanation:

First, rearrange the equation to make y your subject.

y=-x+7

From the equation, you know that the coefficient of x is always your slope. So, in this equation -1 is your slope.

From the equation you would also know that any number behind the x is always your y- intercept. So your y- intercept is 7.

graph{-x+7 [-8.875, 11.125, 1.04, 11.04]}
