Answer:

y =
-(7)/(8)x + 4

Explanation:

-32 = -7x - 8y

Slope-intercept: y=mx+b

First, we can add 8y on both sides so we can get u by itself.

8y - 32 = -7x

Now, we can add 32 to both sides.

8y = -7x + 32

Now, we divide 8 on both sides of the equation so we can get y by itself just like in the slope-intercept formula.

y =
(-7)/(8)x +
(32)/(8)

Lastly, we can simplify and you will have your answer.

y =
-(7)/(8)x + 4
