Question

How would I rewrite, 7x - 14y= -56 into slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

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 2

`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`
