7x -5y = -35
subtract 7x from both sides
-5y = -7x -35
divide both sides by -5
y = -7/-5x -35/-5
a negative divided by a negative is positive
y = 7/5x +7
.
slope = 7/5
y-intercept = (0,7)
x-intercept = (-5,0)

convert equation to slope-intercept form
7x-5y=-35
1)Move 7x by adding -7x to both sides
-5y=-35-7x
2) Divide by 5
y=7%2B%287%2F5%29x
y-int= 7
x-int= -5 (Plug y=0)
Slope = 7/5 (Number before x)
