Find the slope, if it exists

x+7y=14

3 answers

Write it in y = mx + b form and m will be the slope.

y = -(x/7) + 2

The slope does exist.
I still don't get it, but let me show you how I did this and please tell what I am doing wrong.
x+7y=14
x+7y-x=14-x
7y/7 and 14/7
y=2,
the formula is y=mx+b
oh I am so confused please help

x+7y=14
x+7y-x=14-x OK TO HERE.
7y=14-x or rearrange to
7y=-x+14 (you through away the -x on the right side and you can't do that. THEN,
7y/7 =-x/7 + 14/7
y = (-1/7)*x + 2
I hope this helps.
