Question

Rewrite the following linear equation in slope-intercept form. y+4=-2(x-1)

Answer 1

y = -2x - 1

Explanation:

Rewrite y + 7 = -2(x - 3) in slope-intercept form (which is y = mx + b):

First, perform the indicated multiplication:

y + 7 = -2x + 6

Combining the constants, we get

y = -2x - 1

This is the desired equation in slope-intercept form. slope is -2 and y-intercept is -1.
