Find slope
x+7 y=14
x+7y=14
x=2
check this problem see if I got it right.
I don't think you did...
Here's what I would do:
x + 7y = 14
Subtract x from each side.
7y = -x + 14
Divide both sides by 7.
y = -1/7x + 2
That means the slope is -1/7.

I agree with Cassie.
How did you get -1/7 I am still confuse
To find the slope of a linear equation, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope. Let's go through each of the equations and find their slopes:
1. x + 7y = 14:
To rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y. Subtract x from both sides of the equation:
7y = -x + 14
Now, divide both sides by 7 to solve for y:
y = (-1/7)x + 2/7
Comparing the equation to the slope-intercept form, we can see that the slope (m) is -1/7.
2. x + 7y = 14:
This equation is the same as the first one, so the slope is also -1/7.
3. x = 2:
This equation is in the form x = constant. It is a vertical line passing through x = 2, and since the slope of a vertical line is undefined, there is no slope for this equation.
Therefore, your first two equations have a slope of -1/7, while the third equation has no slope.
