When an equation is in the form y = mx + b, it is known as slope-y-intercept form. Here, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So, the slope in the equation y = -2x + 7 is -2.

8x-7 plus 2x equals 6 plus 5x plus 2?
If 2x - 3y = 7, -3 y = 7 - 2x or y = (2x - 7)/3, or y = (2/3)x - (7/3). The slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -(7/3).

2x + 7 + 2x = 23 4x + 7 = 23 4x = 16 x = 16/4 x = 4
If -2x +14 = 0, -2x = -14, or x = 7.
