to find the slope of the graph of 3x+%2B+7y+=+14 write it in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept

3x+%2B+7y+=+14
+7y+=-3x%2B+14
+y+=-3x%2F7%2B+14%2F7
+y+=-%283%2F7%29x%2B+2
=> a slope is -%283%2F7%29+and+y+intercept+is+%7B%7B%7B2,
and x intercept is at point where y=0
+0+=-%283%2F7%29x%2B+2
+%283%2F7%29x=+2
+x=+2%2F%283%2F7%29
+x=+14%2F3
