Generally, the derivative to a linear equation (in the form "ax + b") is the constant that is being multiplied by x (in "ax + b", this would be "a"). This is because a derivative gives the slope of a function, and the slope of a linear function is the coefficient next to x. So, in this case, (7x)' = 7.
