first you have to get into the form
y = mx +b
m being the slope
b being the y intercept

-7x + 4y + 6 = 0
4y = 7x - 6
y = 1.75 - 1.5

So your slope is positive 1.75
y intercept is -1.5

-7x+4y+6=0

make y the subject of the equation:

4y = 7x – 6

y = 7/4 x – 6/4

now y = mx + c when m = gradient and c = the y intercept

therefore, the gradient = 7/4

I think that’s right :S

-7x+4y+6=0

4y=7x-6

y=7/4 x - 6/4

7/4 is the slope
(which is the coefficient of x where y=mx+n
m is the slope.)

- 7x + 4y + 6 = 0

- 7x + 4y + 6 + 7x = 0 + 7x

4y + 6 = 7x

4y + 6 - 6 = 7x - 6

4y = 7x - 6

5y / 4 = 7x / 4 - 6 / 4

y = 7x/ 4 - 3/2

- - - - - - - -

The slope is 7/4

Rearrange the equation to read 'y = ....'
4y = 7x -6
so y = 7x/4 - 3/2
The slope is the 'multiplier' of the 'x' bit = 7/4 = 1.75

-7x+6= -4y
7/4 x + -3/2 = y
m=7/4

y=mx+b (slope-int form)
m=slope
b=y-int

y= 7/4x +6/4 the slope is 7/4

-7x+4y+6=0
4y+6=7x
4y=7x-6
y=(7/4)x-(3/2)
slope=7/4

ANSWER: y= -6/4 + 7/4x and in y+mx+b form: y+ 7/4x-6/4.
DECIMAL ANSWER: y= 1.75x-1.5
SLOPE: 1.75

the slope is 7/4
first write it in form of y=mx+c
the coeffecient of 'x' i.e 'm' is the slpoe.
