While going through Khan Academy's session on Linear equations I came across these two statements
Intro to Slope Intercept Form
The following is a Slope intercept form of linear equation
y=2x+1
The following is not a linear equation in slope-intercept form
x=4y−7
Now the second equation can be rewritten as y = (x+7) / 4
and we know that x and y are just variables, which can be replaced by anything, say a and b or p and q.
So the question is why is y=2x+1 a slope intercept while x=4y−7 is not?
