5x+7y=36
Thanks, Mike
Answer by fluteplayer1993(1) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find slope and y-intercept you need to change from standard form to slope-intercept form. To do that isolate (y).
5x+7y=36

5x-5x+7y=36-5x
7y=-5x+36
7y/7=(5x+36)/7
y=(5/7)x+(36/7)
y=mx+b is slope-intercept form
m=slope=5/7
b=y-intercept=36/7
