I have a question that asks me to find the equation of a line with gradients and intercepts on the y axis. I am given points such as -2/7, 6/7.
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -2/7 ; y-intercept = 6/7
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/7)x + (6/7)
\n" ); document.write( "7y = -2x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "7y =
\n" ); document.write( "With that information I understand the answer is 7y = 6-2x.
