Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+c#
#"where m is the slope and c the y-intercept"#
#"Rearrange "7x-4y=4" into this form"#
#"subtract "7x" from both sides"#
#-4y=-7x+4#
#"divide all terms by "-4#
#y=7/4x-1larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=7/4" and y-intercept "=-1#
Slope:
Explanation:
We can easily put this into slope-intercept form
We essentially want just a
Next, divide both sides by
Now, our equation is in slope-intercept form, with a slope of
