Answer:

y =
(1)/(2) x + 4

Explanation:

7x - 14y = - 56 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

- 14y = - 7x - 56 ( divide through by - 14 )

y =
(-7)/(-14) x -
(56)/(-14)

y =
(1)/(2) x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

Answer:

y =(1)/(2)x+4

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y =mx +b

7x - 14y = -56

Step1 : subtract 7x from both sides

-14y = -7x - 56

Step2: now divide both sides by (-14)

$y =(-7)/(-14)x -(56)/(-14)\\\\y = (1)/(2)x+ 4$
