OpenStudy (anonymous):

cmon, you know how to do these

Someone really needs to teach Broderick.

Apple-pi, up for the job?

need answer @kartiksriramk

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i'll try - you can do this by converting the equation to the form y = ax + b can you do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -2x/7 + 3 .The coefficient of x in this form gives the slope.It is -2/7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2x @kartiksriramk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope the coefficient was not 2 alone.There was a 7 in the denominator.Hence it is -2/7.Practice a few problems to get a hold of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is -2/7 y intercept is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
