Find the Slope y-7=8(x-14)

$y - 7 = 8 (x - 14)$

Step 1

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 right side.

Simplify $8 (x - 14)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$y - 7 = 8 x + 8 \cdot - 14$

Multiply $8$ by $- 14$ .

$y - 7 = 8 x - 112$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $7$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 8 x - 112 + 7$

Add $- 112$ and $7$ .

$y = 8 x - 105$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $8$ .

$m = 8$
