SOLVE FOR y. Put the equation into the form, y=mx%2Bb.
The slope is m.

Hi,

what is the slope and one point on the graph of 

y-12=4/5(x+7)   0r    y+=+green%284%2F5%29x+%2B+%284%2F5%297+%2B+60%2F5+=green%284%2F5%29x+%2B+28%2F5+%2B+60%2F5+

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

 y+=+green%284%2F5%29x++%2B+88%2F5

    m = 4/5   and  Pt(0, 88/5)is on the Line
