Hi,

*Note: The standard point-slope form for an equation of a line y = mx + b 

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

Solving for y to put into the slope-intercept format to determine the slope

7x=6y+24

7x - 24 = 6y

(7/6)x - 4 = y

m = (7/6)  Note: when y increases by 7, then x increases by 6

 This type of problem is made to seem more complex than it is.

7x=6y+24  

"Put on slope-intercept form" means solve for y.

7x=6y+24

6y = 7x - 24

y = (7/6)x - 4

The slope, m, is the coefficent of x

m = 7/6

That's all it takes.

-------------

PS the y-intercept is the -4, or the point (0,-4)
