### Converting an Equation to Slope-Intercept Form

This exercise requires rewriting the given linear equation in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

\[ y = mx + b \]

where \( m \) represents the slope of the line, and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

#### Given Equation:

\[ 7x + 5y = 30 \]

#### Instructions:

1. **Isolate the term involving \( y \):** 
   Start by moving the \( 7x \) term to the other side of the equation.
   
   \[ 5y = -7x + 30 \]

2. **Solve for \( y \):**
   Divide each term by 5 to solve for \( y \).
   
   \[ y = -\frac{7}{5}x + 6 \]

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

\[ y = -\frac{7}{5}x + 6 \]
