Question

Find the slope and y intercept of -7x-4y=-20

Answer 1

to find the information you're looking for put the equation into slope intercept form: y = mx + b do this by solving the given equation for y

-7x - 4y = -20 add 7x to both sides
-4y = 7x - 20 divide both sides by -4

`y=- (7)/(4)x +5`
now you can see the slope is -(7/4) and the y intercept is 5 or (0,5)
