Question

What is 4x - y = - 20 in y=mx+b form

Answer 1

4x - y = - 20 in y=mx+b form is: y = 4x + 20

Explanation:

Given the equation

`4x - y = - 20`

What is the slope-intercept form of linear/line function?

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

`y = mx+b`

where

• 
  `m` represents the slope

• 
  `b` represents the y-intercept

Converting the equation into the slope-intercept form of the line equation

`4x - y = - 20`

Add -4x to both sides

`4x-y+\left(-4x\right)=-20+\left(-4x\right)`

simplify

`-y=-20-4x`

Divide both sides by -1

`(-y)/(-1)=-(20)/(-1)-(4x)/(-1)`

Simplify

`y=4x+20`

Therefore, 4x - y = - 20 in y=mx+b form is: y = 4x + 20

Answer 2

Answer: y = 4x + 20

Explanation:

4x - y = -20

=> -y = -4x - 20

=> y = 4x + 20
