Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "y+5x=7" into this form"#
#"subtract 5x from both sides"#
#ycancel(+5x)cancel(-5x)=7-5x#
#rArry=-5x+7larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#rArr"slope "=-5" and y-intercept "=7#
