Identify slope and y-intercept: Identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation.The equation y=73x−712 is in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Determine slope: Determine the slope.The coefficient of x in the equation is the slope. Therefore, the slope m is 73.
Determine y-intercept: Determine the y-intercept.The constant term in the equation is the y-intercept. Therefore, the y-intercept b is −712.
