Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation.

2x + 5y = 14

You have to turn this equation into slope intercept form.

Right now this equation is: Ax + By = C

We need to turn it into: Y = mx + B

1. Move Ax to the other side of the equation:

2x + 5y = 14

-2x - 2x

5y = - 2x + 14 (You can put it in either order)

2. Divide the B from By

5y = - 2x + 14

5 5 5

y = - 0.4x + 2.8

The slope is - 0.4 or - 4/10 and the y intercept is 2.8

Slope = 0.800/2.000 = 0.400
