Question

What is the slope and y intercept of the following linear function: 2x+Y=7

Show your work(preferably through y=mx+b form) thanks <3


I am also awarding max points for this question please help

Answer 1

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept

2x + y = 7     Isolate the "y" by subtracting 2x on both sides

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

y = 7 - 2x     or    y = -2x + 7

The slope is -2

The y-intercept is 7
