The slope is , and y-intercept is .

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is ,

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

                             (Substitute m = , and b = )

Graph of the equation is

\
• Draw a coordinate plane
\
• Plot the y-intercept (0, )
\
• The slope is . From (0, ), move 5 units down and right 7 units. Plot the point.
\
• Draw a line through the two points.
