Identify equation of line: Identify the equation of the line.The given equation is y−4=−7(x−6). This is in the point-slope form of a line, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Compare with point-slope form: Compare the given equation with the point-slope form. By comparing y−4=−7(x−6) with y−y1=m(x−x1), we can see that the slope m of the line is the coefficient of (x−x1), which in this case is −7.
State slope of line: State the slope of the line.The slope of the line is −7.
