Question 527113


{{{4x-7y=11}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-7y=11-4x}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{-7y=-4x+11}}} Rearrange the terms.



{{{y=(-4x+11)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate y.



{{{y=((-4)/(-7))x+(11)/(-7)}}} Break up the fraction.



{{{y=(4/7)x-11/7}}} Reduce.



So the equation {{{y=(4/7)x-11/7}}} is now in slope intercept form {{{y=mx+b}}} where the slope is {{{m=4/7}}}
