Question

How to rewrite the equation 5x + 7y = -14 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Subtract 5x over and divide by 7

7y=-5x-14

y=-5/7x-2

Answer 2

y = -5/7x - 2

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b

5x + 7y = -14

Subtract 5x both sides

7y = -5x - 14

Divided by 7 both sides

y = -5/7x - 2

So, the answer is y = -5/7x - 2
