You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y-3=(2)/(7)*(x+4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply 2 by each term inside the parentheses.
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=((2x+8))/(7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remove the parentheses around the expression 2x+8.
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=(2x+8)/(7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the numerator by the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=(2x)/(7)+(8)/(7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since -3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3+(2x)/(7)+(8)/(7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "y=(2x+29)/(7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the numerator by the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "y=(2x)/(7)+(29)/(7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m=slope and b is the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the y=mx+b formula, m=(2)/(7) and b=(29)/(7).
\n" ); document.write( "Slope: m=(2)/(7)
\n" ); document.write( "Y-intercept: b=(29)/(7) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
