\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B7y=-4\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7y=-4-3x\" Subtract \"3x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7y=-3x-4\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-3x-4%29%2F%287%29\" Divide both sides by \"7\" to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28%28-3%29%2F%287%29%29x%2B%28-4%29%2F%287%29\" Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%283%2F7%29x-4%2F7\" Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation \"y=-%283%2F7%29x-4%2F7\" is now in slope intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=-3%2F7\" and the y-intercept is \"b=-4%2F7\" note: the y-intercept is the point
