Slope-intercept form: write an equation

Full solution

Q. A line has a slope of

\frac{1}{7}

and a

y

-intercept of

-\frac{1}{7}

. Write its equation in slope-intercept form. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Identify Form: Identify the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. $\newline$ The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by $y = mx + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
Insert Values: Insert the given slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept form. $\newline$ We are given the slope $m$ as $\frac{1}{7}$ and the y-intercept $b$ as $-\frac{1}{7}$ . Substituting these values into the equation $y = mx + b$ gives us $y = \left(\frac{1}{7}\right)x + \left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)$ .
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation if necessary. $\newline$ In this case, the equation $y = \frac{1}{7}x + \left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)$ is already in its simplest form. There is no need for further simplification.
