y=6 -7x
y=-7x + 6
the coefficient of x is the gradient. so since its -7 , the slope is negative 7.. the slope is going downwards.. the y intercept is 6.. it crosses the y- axis at y=6

eqn can be formed using this formula
y = mx + C
where m is the slope
therefore in this eqn
y = -7x + 6
Therefore slope = -7

7, the slope is always the number before x, y=mx+b, b is y intercept, m is slope
dont follow masterminds step by step instructions of how he got the answer, he did it wrong obviously, he has -7 after he moved y, if he puts it at -7 then why is he saying slope is 7, hes wrong, dude.

7x + y = 6
For finding slope hold y on LHS and transfer x-term to RHS. the coeff. of x is slope.
ie y = - 7 x + 6
Hence slope of the line = - 7 .................. Answer

7x+y=6
y=-7x +6
y= mx +c
m is slope which is 7
