I will be trying to get the equation into slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept


6x + 7y = 14      Isolate the "y". First subtract 6x on both sides

7y = 14 - 6x       Divide 7 on both sides

[tex]y=2-\frac{6}{7} x[/tex]          or         [tex]y = -\frac{6}{7}x+2[/tex]


The slope is [tex]-\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

The y-intercept is 2
