7y+14x=10...y=mx+b is the form
:
7y=-14x+10......subtracted 14x from both sides
:
y=-2x+(10/7)....divided all terms by 7 to isolate the variable y

How do I rewrite the following in slope-intercept form:
7y+14x=10
------------
Solve for y. That's always how it's done.
7y+14x=10
7y = -14x + 10
y = -2x + 10/7
-------------------
The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 10/7
