Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)


\"5x-7y=70\" Start with the given equation


\"5x-7y-5x=70-5x\" Subtract 5x from both sides


\"-7y=-5x%2B70\" Simplify


\"%28-7y%29%2F%28-7%29=%28-5x%2B70%29%2F%28-7%29\" Divide both sides by -7 to isolate y


\"y+=+%28-5x%29%2F%28-7%29%2B%2870%29%2F%28-7%29\" Break up the fraction on the right hand side


\"y+=+%285%2F7%29x-10\" Reduce and simplify


The original equation \"5x-7y=70\" (standard form) is equivalent to \"y+=+%285%2F7%29x-10\" (slope-intercept form)


The equation \"y+=+%285%2F7%29x-10\" is in the form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where \"m=5%2F7\" is the slope and \"b=-10\" is the y intercept.
