Slope $\to \frac{3}{5}$ $-> 3/5$

y-intercept $\to - 7$ $-> -7$

Standard form for straight line graph is: $y = m x + c$ $" "y=mx+c$

Where $m$ $m$ is the gradient (slope) and $c$ $c$ is the y intercept

So for your equation

$m = \frac{3}{5} \to Slope$ $m=3/5 -> "Slope"$

$c = - 7 \to y-intercept$ $c=-7 -> "y-intercept"$

$slope= \frac{3}{5}$ $"slope="3/5$
$y = - 7$ $y=-7$

$\frac{3}{5} x - 7 = y$ $color(red)(3/5) x-7=y$

$slope is the coefficient of 'x'$ $"slope is the coefficient of 'x'"$

$slope= \frac{3}{5}$ $"slope="3/5$

$for y intercept ,we write x=0$ $"for y intercept ,we write x=0"$

$\frac{3}{5} \cdot 0 - 7 = y$ $3/5*0-7=y$

$y = - 7$ $y=-7$

How do you find slope and y-intercept of (3/5)x-7=y(35)x−7=y(3/5)x-7=y?
