Find the slope and the Y intercept of the line. Write the fractional answer in the lowest possible terms.
y= -5/7x -7/3
The slope is ? Type an integer or fraction
Slope = (-5/7)
----------------------------
The y intercept is (0,?) Type an integer or fractions.
y-intercept is (0, -7/3)

The equation is in slope-intercept form.


.
When x = 0, y = -7/3, which defines the point (0, -7/3)
.
When y = 0, we can solve the equation.

.
Add -(5/7)x to both sides

.
Multiply both sides by 7

.
Divide both sides by 5

.
You can simplify the fractions.
