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

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

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