Question

What is the slope of the graph of 14x + 7y = –9? can someone explain this to me?

Answer 1

First thing you want to do is solve for y.

Answer 2

you have to put it into y=mx+b form

Answer 3

what goes into x and y though?

Answer 4

y = -2x -9/7 is what you should get...therefore slope = -2.

Answer 5

Nothing, you just put it into y = mx+b form

Answer 6

oh. how did you get -2 and -9/7 in the beginning?

Answer 7

Algebra, my friend

Answer 8

Well, thanks anyway! :)

Answer 9

can you explain to me one more?
