To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.

7x - 2y = 4 ... subtract 7x from both sides

-2y = - 7x + 4 ... now divide both sides by - 2

y = (-7/-2) x + (4/-2)

y = 7/2x - 2 ... now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.
