what is the slope intercept form of x+7y=49

Answer 1

The equation is x + 7y = 49

The slope intercept form is y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

Convert the equation to slope intercept form.

x + 7y = 49

Move x variable to right hand side by subtract x from each side.

7y = − x +49

Divide each side by 7.

y = − x /7 +49/7

  = − x /7 +7

  = (−1/7) x +7

Here, m  = −1/7 and c = 7

slope intercept form is y = (−1/7) x +7
