4x-7y=11 Start with the given equation.


-7y=11-4x Subtract 4x from both sides.


-7y=-4x%2B11 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-4x%2B11%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-4%29%2F%28-7%29%29x%2B%2811%29%2F%28-7%29 Break up the fraction.


y=%284%2F7%29x-11%2F7 Reduce.


So the equation y=%284%2F7%29x-11%2F7 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=4%2F7
