The slope-intercept form of a line is given by: $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$-intercept.

The given equation is already in slope-intercept form: $y=-\frac{1}{1}x$, which simplifies to $y=-x$.

Comparing this with $y=mx+b$, we see that $m=-1$ (the coefficient of $x$) and $b=0$ (there is no constant term).

Therefore, the slope is $-1$ and the $y$-intercept is $(0,0)$.

The only answer choice that matches this is B: $m=-\frac{1}{1}$ and $b=(0,0)$.
