I'm assuming you want to solve for y.




7x%2B4y=24 Start with the given equation.


4y=24-7x Subtract 7x from both sides.


4y=-7x%2B24 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-7x%2B24%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-7%29%2F%284%29%29x%2B%2824%29%2F%284%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-%287%2F4%29x%2B6 Reduce.


So the equation y=-%287%2F4%29x%2B6 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-7%2F4 and the y-intercept is b=6 note: the y-intercept is the point
