Question

What would be the slope and y intercept of 6x+7y=58?

Answer 1

you need to isolate y on one side, and get everything else on the other side

Answer 2

y=-6/7x + 8 is what I got.

Answer 3

y=mx+b

Answer 4

get your equation in the form y = mx+b.
b is the y intercept and m is the slope

Answer 5

58/7 is not 8

Answer 6

When i divide it, it comes out 8.3

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

you cannot round off your values

Answer 9

Would I keep it as a decimal?

Answer 10

fraction

Answer 11

it is up to you. generally, it is more elegant to keep as fraction

Answer 12

So, -6/7 would be the slope and 58/7 would be the y intercept?

Answer 13

That is a very true statement

Answer 14

indeed it would
