Question 351422
To find the slope and y-intercept, we must write 



your equation in the y-intercept form which



is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.



2x - 7y = 8



-7y = -2x + 8



y = (-2/-7)(x) - 8/7



y = (2/7)(x) - 8/7



The slope is 2/7 and the y-intercept is -8/7.
