The slope-intercept form of a line is #y = mx+b# where m is the slope and #(0,b)# is the y-intercept.

Explanation:

To write given line, #-7x+y=-2#, in slope-intercept form, add #7x# to both sides:

#y = 7x-2#

To start graphing, plot the y - intercept point #(0,-2)#

Use the slope, #m = 7#, and starting at the point (0,-2), move to the right 1 and up 7 to arrive at the point #(1,5); plot that point.

Use a straight edge to draw a line through the two points and beyond.
