14x−4y=20, find the slope intercept form. please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isolate "y" and reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for y. That's slope-intercept form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be -4y=14x-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You didn't solve for y there, you solved for -4y. You still have to get rid of the -4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide -4 to 14 and -20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-7/2x +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Draw it please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you'd want to divide both sides by -4. But check your signs from the first part. When you moved over the 14x, your signs got screwed up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

instead it would be then, -4y=14x+20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, look:
