Answer:

• y = -x -3
• x +y = -3

Explanation:

Rearrange as required.

The slope-intercept form is ...

y = mx + b

Eliminating parentheses and solving adding 4 gives ...

y -4 = -x -7

y = -x -3 . . . . . . slope-intercept form

__

We can add the opposite of the x-term to get standard form:

ax +by = c

x + y = -3 . . . . . . standard form
