You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you put this equation into the y=mx + b format, then
\n" ); document.write( "m=slope
\n" ); document.write( "b=y intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7x+6y-30=0
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 7x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "6y-30=-7x
\n" ); document.write( "add 30 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "6y=-7x+30
\n" ); document.write( "Then divide the equation by 6:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28-7x%2F6%29%2B5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now it is in the slope intercept form (y=mx+b) and b=5 and m= $\"-7%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so the y intercept occurs at the point (0,5) and the slope is $\"-7%2F6\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
