    You have to turn this equation into slope intercept form.

    Right now this equation is: Ax + By = C

    We need to turn it into: Y = mx + B

    1. Move Ax to the other side of the equation:

    2x + 5y = 14

    -2x - 2x

    5y = - 2x + 14 (You can put it in either order)

    2. Divide the B from By

    5y = - 2x + 14

    5 5 5

    y = - 0.4x + 2.8

    The slope is - 0.4 or - 4/10 and the y intercept is 2.8
