1. The problem asks to rewrite the equation $2x - y - 7 = 0$ into slope-intercept form and identify the slope and y-intercept. 2. The slope-intercept form of a line is given by the formula $$y = mx + b$$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. 3. Starting with the equation: $$2x - y - 7 = 0$$ Add $y$ to both sides: $$2x - 7 = y$$ Rewrite as: $$y = 2x - 7$$ 4. From the slope-intercept form, the slope $m$ is the coefficient of $x$, which is $2$. 5. The y-intercept $b$ is the constant term, which is $-7$. 6. Therefore, the slope is $2$ and the y-intercept is $-7$. Final answer: $$y = 2x - 7, \quad m = 2, \quad b = -7$$
