$y=-3/4x+13/4$

The slope-intercept form of a line is $y=mx+b$ . In order to convert the above equation into this form, isolate $y$ and simplify the right-hand side.

$y-7=-3/4(x+5)$

$y=-3/4(x+5)+7$

$y=-3/4x-15/4+7$

$y=-3/4x-15/4+28/4$

$y=-3/4x+13/4$

How do you write the equation y-7=-3/4(x+5)y-7=-3/4(x+5) in slope intercept form?
