Write in y=mx+b Form x+8y=7y-2

$x + 8 y = 7 y - 2$

Step 1

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

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Move all terms containing $y$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $7 y$ from both sides of the equation.

$x + 8 y - 7 y = - 2$

Subtract $7 y$ from $8 y$ .

$x + y = - 2$

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - 2 - x$

Reorder $- 2$ and $- x$ .

$y = - x - 2$
