Question 479544
x=4y-7

whenever you are working on such a type of problem you have to re write the equation in the form y = mx+b

In this equation m = slope
b = y intercept.

x=4y-7
add 7 to both sides
x+7 = 4y-7+7
x+7 = 4y
/4
x/4 +7/4 = y

OR y= x/4 +7/4
ie: y = (1/4)x+7/4

compare this with y= mx+b
m= slope = 1/4
y intercept = b = 7/4
..
{{{graph(300,300,-5,5,-5,5,y=(1/4)x+7/4)}}}
The line intersects the y axis at 7/4 OR 1.75
