Write the equation in the slope-intercept form and then find the slope m and y-intercept b of the corresponding line.
-8x + 6y - 5 = -7
-8x + 6y = -2
6y = 8x - 2
y = (4/3)x - 1/3
------------
m = 4/3
b = -1/3

Write the equation in the slope-intercept form and then find the slope m and y-intercept b of the corresponding line.
-8x + 6y - 5 = -7

Step 1. The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept at x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Solving yields the following steps.



Add 8x+5 to both sides of the equation





Divide 6 to both sides of the equation





Step 3. The slope m=4/3 and y-intercept b=-1/3}}}

Below is the graph and note the slope and y-intercept.



I hope the above steps were helpful.
