Find the slope of the line 7x + 63y = 28.
Find the y-intercept of the equation
:
Put the equation in the slope/intercept form and yo have both: (y = mx + b)
7x + 63y = 28
63y = -7x + 28
:
Divide equation by 63
y = -7%2F63x + 28%2F63
:
Reduce fractions
y = -1%2F9x + 4%2F9
:
Slope = -1%2F9; y intercept = 4%2F9
