Find the slope, if it exists
x+7y=14
Write it in y = mx + b form and m will be the slope.
y = -(x/7) + 2
The slope does exist.
I still don't get it, but let me show you how I did this and please tell what I am doing wrong.
x+7y=14
x+7y-x=14-x
7y/7 and 14/7
y=2,
the formula is y=mx+b
oh I am so confused please help
I still don't get it, but let me show you how I did this and please tell what I am doing wrong.
x+7y=14
x+7y-x=14-x OK TO HERE.
7y=14-x or rearrange to
7y=-x+14 (you through away the -x on the right side and you can't do that. THEN,
7y/7 =-x/7 + 14/7
y = (-1/7)*x + 2
I hope this helps.
7y/7 and 14/7
y=2,
the formula is y=mx+b

To find the slope of the line given by the equation x+7y=14, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To do this, let's isolate y in the equation:
x + 7y = 14
Subtract x from both sides:
7y = -x + 14
Divide the entire equation by 7:
y = (-1/7)x + 2
Now that we have the equation in slope-intercept form, we can see that the coefficient of x (-1/7) represents the slope. Therefore, the slope of the line x + 7y = 14 is -1/7.
