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

$7/2x - 5 = y$

How do you find the slope and intercept to graph 7x - 2y = 107x - 2y = 10?
