Find the slope and the y-intercept of the linear equation: 2x+y=7
slope: 7; y-intercept: 2
slope: 2; y-intercept: 7
slope: -2; y-intercept: 7
slope: 1/2; y-intercept: 7
The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b y = m x + b , where m m is the slope and b b is the y-intercept. Subtract 2x 2 x from both sides of the equation. Reorder 7 7 and −2x - 2 x . Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is −2 .
