RE-ARRANGING LINEAR EQUATION TO SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
Use the steps you need from this example.
Given 7X - 3Y + 2 = 0
First ISOLATE -3Y by adding/subtracting the same quantities from both sides:
7X - 7X - 3Y - 2 + 2 = 0 - 7X + 2
Rewrite omitting eliminated terms
- 3Y = - 7X + 2
Divide through by the coefficient of Y
-3Y/-3 = - 7X/-3 + 2/-3
Simplify:
Y = 7X/3 - 2/3
Note: In this equation, m is 7/3 and the Y-intercept is - 2/3
