Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept. Show your complete solution.
7x - 2y = 13​

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is 3.5 (or 7/2) and the y-intercept is -6.5 (or -13/2).

Solving Steps:
The equation must be put in slope-intercept form to easily identify the slope and y-intercept.
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

7x - 2y = 13
-2y = -7x + 13
y = 3.5x - 6.5
Improper fraction form: y = 7/2x - 13/2
