6x%2B7y=-70
7y=+-6x-70
y=+-%286%2F7%29x-70%2F7
y=+-%286%2F7%29x-10
slope is -%286%2F7%29
y-intercept is -10

Slope intercept form is THIS FORM :


    y = mx + a.


To get it, re-write your equation 


    y = %28-6x-70%29%2F7,   which is the same as   y = %28-6%2F7%29%2Ax+-+10.


It is yours equation in the slope-intercept form.


The slope is the coefficient at x in this equation. In your case it is  -6%2F7%29.


y-intercept is the value of "y" at x= 0.


In your case it is  -10.
