You can
put this solution on YOUR website!7x-5y=1
:
solve for x
Add 5y to both sides
7x = 5y + 1
Divide both sides by 7
x =
y +
:
solve for y
subtract 7x from both sides
-5y = -7x + 1
Multiply both sides by -1 to get a positive y
5y = 7x - 1
Divide both sides by 5
y =
x -
:
and find the intercept for x&y
x intercept occurs when y = 0
x =
(0) +
x = 0 +
x intercept =
:
Y intercept occurs when x = 0
y =
(0) -
y intercept =
;
and the slope
use the slope intercept form which is: y = mx + b:
y =
x -
m =
is the slope

a graphical illustration will help it make sense to you
Note the graph intercepts the x axis at 1/7 and intercepts the y axis at -1/5
