Convert y + 6 = -2(x - 4) to slope- intercept form

  • Remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx+b, with b as the y-intercept and m as the slope.

Firstly, foil -2(x - 4):
y+6=-2x+8

Next, subtract 6 on both sides and your slope-intercept form is y = -2x + 2.

Answer: The answer is y = -2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation: We know that the general equation of slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+c

where m is the slope and c is the y intercept

Given equation : y + 6 = -2(x-4)

When we solve

y + 6 = -2x+ 8

Subtracting 6 both sides

y + 6 -6 =-2x +8 -6

y= -2x + 2 is the required equation

Here slope m=-2 and y intercept c=2
