Find the slope and the y -intercept of the line.
write your answers in simplest form.
-7x - 2y = -4

So the y-intercept is 2 while the slope is -7/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to write this in slope-intercept form because it tells us the slope,m, and the y-intercept,b.

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.

So our goal is to solve for y.

-7x-2y=-4

Add 7x on both sides:

   -2y=7x-4

Divide both sides by -2:

Separate the fraction:

Simplify:

If we compare this to y=mx+b, we see m is -7/2 and b is 2.

So the y-intercept is 2 while the slope is -7/2.

the slope m is:

The y-intersection is:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the equation of a line written in the form

m is the slope and b is the intersection with y-axis.

In this case we have the equation

So we rewrite the equation and we have to:

the slope m is:

the y-intersection is:
