Question

What is in y=mx+b for for this equation?

y-4=2(x-2)

Answer 1

y = 2x

the y-intercept cancels out in the equation

Answer 2

Answer: y = 2x

Explanation:

We will change this equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). To do this, we will isolate the y-variable.

Given:

y - 4 = 2(x - 2)

Distribute:

y - 4 = 2x - 4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

y = 2x
