Question 239212: Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line:
8y+7x+8=11+7x

The Slope-Intercept form of the line is: y=mx%2Bb, where m is the slope and b is a constant.
.
Problem:
8y%2B7x%2B8=11%2B7x
8y=11%2B7x-7x-8
8y=0x%2B3
y=0x%2B%283%2F8%29
y=3%2F8
.
There is no slope.
If you were to graph this equation in a cartesian plane, it would be a horizontal line (a flat line) that crosses "y" at 3/8. There would be no inclination on the line, hence no slope, and no "x" values.
