Question

Rewrite the equation 2 = -5x + (2y + 2x) in slope intercept form (y = mx + b or y = 5x - 4)​

Answer 1

Start with

`2=-5x+(2y+2x)`

Sum like terms on the right hand side:

`2=-3x+2y`

Add 3x to both sides:

`3x+2=2y`

Divide both sides by 2:

`(3)/(2)x+1=y`

Which is the required form: reading the equality from right to left gives

`y=(3)/(2)x+1`
