Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Form of the Equation

The given equation is $ y = -7x - 12 $. This is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is $ y = mx + b $, where $ m $ is the slope and $ b $ is the y-intercept.

Step 2: Determine the Slope

In the equation $ y = -7x - 12 $, the coefficient of $ x $ is $-7$. This coefficient represents the slope of the line.
