Question

Find slope for 7x-2y=0.2

`7x - 2y = 0.2`

Answer 1

slope = -7/2

Explanation:

To find the slope, we will solve the equation for y.

7x-2y=0.2

Subtract 7x from each side.

7x-7x-2y=-7x+0.2

-2y = -7x+0.2

Then we need to divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = -7x/-2 + 0.2/-2

y = -7/2 x -0.1

This is in the form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So the slope is -7/2 and the y intercept is -0.1
