Hi,
7x-5y = -8 0r y+=+%287%2F5%29x+%2B+8%2F5 slope m = 7/5
Finding the y-intercept (highlight%280%29, _)
highlight%280%29- 5y = -8
y = 8/5 || the y-intercept (highlight%280%29, 1.6)
Finding the x-intercept ( _, highlight%280%29)
7x -5· highlight%280%29 = -8
x = -8/7 || the x-intercept is (-8/7 , highlight%280%29)
Plot (0,-4) and (4,0) and connect with a Line y+=+%287%2F5%29x+%2B+8%2F5
