Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "7x-14y=35" into this form"#
#"subtract "7x" from both sides"#
#rArr-14y=-7x+35#
#"divide all terms by "-14#
#rArry=1/2x-35/14larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=1/2" and y-intercept "=-35/14=-5/2#
