Put it in slope-intercept form.

#y = 7/2 x - 5#

#y#-intercept #= -5#

slope #= 7/2#

Put the equation into slope-intercept form by moving the #-2y# on the right side of the equation.

#7x = 2y + 10#

Then move the #10# to the left side

#7x - 10 = 2y#

Now divide all values by #2#.

#7/2 - 10/2 = (2y/2)#

to get

#7/2x - 5 = y #
