General one point slope formula is
y = mx + c
First isolate y
-7x + 2y = 2
2y = 7x + 2
y = (7/2) y + (2/2)
y = (7/2) y + 1 ----- eqn 1
Compare eqn 1 with general equation (y = mx + c). You get
m = 7/2
c = 1

-7x + 2y = 2?
2y = 7x + 2
y = 7x/2 + 2/2
slope = 7/2 (y = mx + b) where "m" is the value of the slope

To find the slope you must first put the equation in slope-intercept form. ie: y=x+1
-7x + 2y = 2
2y=7x+2
Y=7/2X+1
The slope is 7/2.

first, put the equation in slope intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope
-7x + 2y = 2
2y = 7x + 2
y = (7/2)x + 1
slope is 7/2

-7x + 2y +7x = 2 +7x
2y = 2 +7x
2y/2 = (2+7x)/2
y=(7/2)x+1
Slope equals 7/2.

2y = 7x + 2
y = (7 / 2) x + 1
slope = 7 / 2

y=mx+b
m=slope
2y=7x+2
y=7/2x+1
Therefore the slope is 7/2.
