Given the equation:


x+7y=-3

The slope-intercept for the line is: y = mx + b

the given equation is the standard for the line, to find the slope-intercept form of the line, solve the equation for y

So, the slope-intercept form will be as follows:


\begin{gathered} x+7y=-3 \\ 7y=-x-3\rightarrow(/7) \\ \\ y=-(1)/(7)x-(3)/(7) \end{gathered}

so, the answer will be the slope-intercept equation is:


y=-(1)/(7)x-(3)/(7)
