Question

Convert -7x + 2y = -16 to slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = 3.5x - 8

Explanation:

Slope - Intercept form is y = mx + b

2y = 7x - 16

y = 3.5x - 8

Answer 2

y = 7/2x -8

Explanation:

-7x + 2y = -16

Add 7x to each side

-7x+7x + 2y =+7x -16

2y = 7x-16

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 7x/2-16/2

y = 7/2x -8

This is in slope intercept form

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