7x%2B7y=14 Start with the given equation


7y=14-7x Subtract 7+x from both sides


7y=-7x%2B14 Rearrange the equation


y=%28-7x%2B14%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7


y=%28-7%2F7%29x%2B%2814%29%2F%287%29 Break up the fraction


y=-x%2B2 Reduce



So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (y=mx%2Bb) where the slope is m=-1 and the y-intercept is b=2
