\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-7y=35\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-7y=35-5x\" Subtract \"5x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-7y=-5x%2B35\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-5x%2B35%29%2F%28-7%29\" Divide both sides by \"-7\" to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28%28-5%29%2F%28-7%29%29x%2B%2835%29%2F%28-7%29\" Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%285%2F7%29x-5\" Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation \"y=%285%2F7%29x-5\" is now in slope intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=5%2F7\" and the y-intercept is \"b=-5\" note: the y-intercept is the point
