$"slope" = m = 0$ ; $" "y$ -intercept $(0, 7/3)$

Given: $3y = 7$

The slope - intercept form of a line: $y = mx + b$ ,

where $m$ = the slope and $b$ is the $y$ -intercept $(0, b)$

Put the given equation in slope - intercept form by dividing both sides of the equation by $3$ :

$3/3 y = 7/3$

$y = 7/3" " => " "y = 0x +7/3$

This is a horizontal line. They have slope $= 0$ .

This means $"slope" = m = 0$ ; $" "y$ -intercept $(0, 7/3)$
