Please recheck the problem, I believe you put in an extra y instead of the x.
It will be easiest to determine the slope and y-intercept from the slope-intercept form of the equation (y=mx+b). As given the equation is in standard form (Ax+By=C). Algebraically manipulate the problem into slope-intercept form.
The slope = m and the y-intercept = b.
Update the problem and I will work through the example if you would like.

I think you meant to have an x somewhere. As it is, your equation simplifies to 7y=-1008/17/19
