Question

2x-7y=14 can someone break this down barney style for slope with the steps

Answer 1

I know the formula I just don't understand exactly how to get it

Answer 2

You have to put the equation in the form: y = mx + b.
That means you have to solve the given equation for y.
2x-7y=14
To solve for y, isolate y:
add 7y to both sides:
2x = 14 + 7y
subtract 14 from both sides:
2x - 14 = 7y
divide both sides by 7
2/7x - 2 = y or
y = 2/7 * x - 2
Compare this to the general slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
What is m?

Answer 3

In y = mx + b, 'm' is the slope.
Compare above equation to y = 2/7 * x - 2 we got earlier.
What is m?

Answer 4

is it undefined?

Answer 5

y = mx + b
y = 2/7x - 2
compare the two.
In the first equation, m is the coefficient of x
In the second equation, 2/7 is the coefficient of x.
So m = 2/7.
Therefore, the slope of the given equation is 2/7.

Answer 6

okay but what about the -2
