Answer:

The slope is -7/4 and the y intercept is 1

Explanation:

-7x - 4y = -4

Put the equation in slope intercept form and solve for y

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Add 7x to each side

-7x - 4y+7x =+7x -4

- 4y =7x -4

Divide by -4

-4y/-4 = 7x/-4 -4/-4

y = -7/4 x +1

The slope is -7/4 and the y intercept is 1
