how do you change a equation from standard to slope-intercept form 




7x+-+5y+=+4



Subtract 7x from both sides



-5y+=+-7x+%2B+4

     

Divide every number by -5



%28%28-5%29%2F%28-5%29%29y+=+%28%28-7%29%2F%28-5%29%29x+%2B+%284%2F%28-5%29%29



y+=+7%2F5x-4%2F5



That's the form y+=+mx%2Bb
