7x-y=2 How do i find this equation.?

Question

How do I find the slope of the line determined by the equation. Please help I am lost.

thanks

Answer 1

First solve for y.

7x - y = 2

7x = 2 + y

7x - 2 = y

y = 7x - 2

This is in slope-intercept form. y = mx + b, where m equals the slope and b is the y-intercept.

m = 7 = (7/1)

b = -2

Answer 2

First, change it to Y- 7X -2. Then, it gets a lot easier. Your slope should be 7.

I really hope this helps.

Answer 3

put it into the form y=mx+b

m is the slope.

the process:

2=7x-y

2+y=7x

y=7x-2

m=7

Answer 4

Write it as y - 7x - 2. Now it should be obvious.
