Question 245910: I need help on slope intercept form. How would I solve a problem like 7x+y=3

I suspect you mean "how do I put

into slope-intercept form"

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is:

So the answer is to solve the equation for

in terms of everything else. That means do whatever is necessary to rearrange the equation so that

is all by itself on the LHS of the equation and everything else is on the RHS.

For your example, one step does it. Just add

to both sides.
