Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept of this equation 6X + 7 y equals 14

Answer 1

I will be trying to get the equation into slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept

6x + 7y = 14      Isolate the "y". First subtract 6x on both sides

7y = 14 - 6x       Divide 7 on both sides

$y=2-\frac{6}{7} x$          or         $y = -\frac{6}{7}x+2$

The slope is $-\frac{6}{7}$

The y-intercept is 2
