Question #9fc61

1 Answer

Dec 2, 2017

$y = - \frac{7}{2} x - 7$ $y=-\frac{7}{2}x-7$

Explanation:

We just need to algebraically manipulate (move terms around and perform operations) the current equation to convert it to slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ , so first we need to isolate for $y$ $y$ by adding $7 x$ $7x$ to both sides:

$\to - 2 y = 7 x + 14$ $\rightarrow -2y=7x+14$

Now we need to get rid of $y$ $y$ ’s coefficient by dividing by $- 2$ $-2$ :

$\to y = - \frac{7}{2} x - 7$ $\rightarrow y=-\frac{7}{2}x-7$

Which is slope-intercept form.
