y+3=-2(x-7)
The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y=mx+b
Simplify -2(x-7).
Apply the distributive property.
y+3=-2x-2⋅-7
Multiply -2 by -7.
y+3=-2x+14
y+3=-2x+14
Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
y=-2x+14-3
Subtract 3 from 14.
y=-2x+11
y=-2x+11
y=-2x+11
Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is -2.
m=-2
Find the Slope y+3=-2(x-7)
