Can you explain to me how to write this equation in slope-intercept form?
-7y=8x-3

divide by -7
y=(-8/7)x+(3/7)
slope=-8/7
intercept=3/7

you already have the answer ok mayby you don't understand here is an equation to help you y=mx+b m means the slope and b is the y intercept so i am going to solve it for ya
-7y=8x-3 so you have to divide -7 from y,8x and 3 and you will get the result

the slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b
So, divide both sides by -7 to get y by itself on the left side:
y = 8x/-7 -3/-7 or -8x/7 + 3/7
So,the slope is -8/7 and the y intercept is 3/7

Slope Intercept form is generally:
y = mx+ b
m = slope
b = where the line crosses the y axis
In your example, you would divide both sides by -7 to get y by itself.
y = -8x/7 + 3/7

slope-intercept form = y=mx+b
-7y=8x-3
divide both sides by -7
y=8/-7x+3/7

the slope formula is : y=mx+b
how to solve that equation is by putting into the right form.
you want to get the y alone so you add the seven over
and combine it with the three
so the answer in slope interecept form is:
y=8x+4
