Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

14x + y = -7

1 answer

To rewrite the equation \( 14x + y = -7 \) in slope-intercept form, which is \( y = mx + b \) (where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept), you need to isolate \( y \).

Starting with the original equation:

\[ 14x + y = -7 \]

Subtract \( 14x \) from both sides:

\[ y = -14x - 7 \]

Now the equation is in slope-intercept form:

\[ y = -14x - 7 \]

Here, the slope \( m \) is \(-14\) and the y-intercept \( b \) is \(-7\).
