If I'm correct...

The expression is not an equation. It is not solvable. I believe your expression here would be 1/3n because it is asking the relation of n feet to yards. Converting to yards from feet is to divide by 3, or multiply by the reciprocal, 1/3. So, by plugging your number of feet into the expression in place of n, you essentially divide by 3 and get your number of yards.

The equation is the actual solvable statement. You can use the expression to solve this. In the first part, you used the variable n for the number of feet. In this part, you use f instead. This new expression would be 1/3f. Now, what is that expression equal to? Well, you're solving for the number of yards. So, if the number of yards is represented by y, then the equation should be y=1/3f.

What is the best first step to write this linear equation in slope-intercept form?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

subtract the term in "x" (1/7 x) on both sides of the equal sign

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that in order to get a linear equation in slope-intercept form, all is needed is to solve for for "y" in the equation. That means isolate the variable "y" on one side of the equal sign.

In order to do such, all is needed in the given equation: $\frac{1}{7} x+y=-8$ , is to subtract the term in "x" on both sides of the equal sign, so the term disappears on the left, leaving the variable "y" on its own:
