Give the slope and the y intercept of the line 7 x + 4 y = 5 .

Answer 1

To find the slope and y intercept, you can manipulate the equation so it is in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

7x+4y=5 Subtract 7x from both sides

7x+4y-7x=5-7x

4y=-7x+5 Divide both sides by 4

4y/4=-7x/4+5/4 Simplify

y=-7/4x+5/4

slope = -7/4

y intercept = 5/4
