Find the Slope and y-intercept -5/4-2/7x=y

$- \frac{5}{4} - \frac{2}{7} x = y$

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the left side.

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{2}{7}$ .

$- \frac{5}{4} - \frac{x \cdot 2}{7} = y$

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$- \frac{5}{4} - \frac{2 x}{7} = y$

Rewrite the equation as $y = - \frac{5}{4} - \frac{2 x}{7}$ .

$y = - \frac{5}{4} - \frac{2 x}{7}$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder $- \frac{5}{4}$ and $- \frac{2 x}{7}$ .

$y = - \frac{2 x}{7} - \frac{5}{4}$

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{2}{7} x) - \frac{5}{4}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{2}{7} x - \frac{5}{4}$

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - \frac{2}{7}$

$b = - \frac{5}{4}$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- \frac{2}{7}$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{5}{4})$

Slope: $- \frac{2}{7}$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{5}{4})$
