To know the slope and the y-intercept, set the equation to the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
where m= the slope and b= the y-coordinate of the y-intercept
1.x = 2y - 7
2y-7=x
2y-7+7=x+7
2y+0=x+7
2y=x+7
y=%281%2F2%29%28x%29%2B7%2F2
Thus the y-intercept is at (0,7/2) and the slope is 1/2
2. y = 1/4x + 3
already given!
the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is located at (0,3)
