Isolate the y varialbe
7x - 3y + 3y = -42 + 3y
7x = -42 + 3y
7x + 42 = -42 + 3y + 42
7x + 42 = 3y
Divide both sides by 3
y = 7%2F3x + 14 ==> this is the slope-intercept form
...
y intercept, b, is 14
(0, 14)
x intercept is where y = 0
0+=+%287%2F3%29x+%2B14
-14+=+%287%2F3%29x
-14%283%2F7%29+=+x
x = -6
(-6,0)
...
