Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8x+7y=56?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Put the equation into the slope/intercept format: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 7y = 56
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7y = -8x + 56; subtracted 8x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"%28-8%29%2F7\"$ x + $\"56%2F7\"$ ; divided both sides by 7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"%28-8%29%2F7\"$ x + 8; the slope/intercept form of the equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The slope (m) will be $\"-8%2F7\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
