\"x%2B7y=6\" Start with the given equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"7y=6-x\" Subtract 6x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%286-x%29%2F7\" Divide both sides by 7
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=6%2F7-x%2F7\" Break up the fraction
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-1%2F7%29x%2B6%2F7\" Rearrange the terms into \"y=mx%2Bb\" form where m is the slope and b is the y coordinate of the y intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the slope is \"-1%2F7\" and the y intercept is (0,\"6%2F7\")
\n" ); document.write( "
