Question

How do you write y - 3 -
(x + 4) in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

In slope-intercept form y - 5 = 3(x - 4) is y = 3x - 7.

Answer 2

y = x + 7

Explanation:

Your original equation was:

y - 3 = (x+4)

First distribute

= (x+4)

Since there is no a value, then there is an invisible one and your result is:

y - 3 = x + 4

Then add 3 to both sides to get:

y = x +4 +3

y = x + 7

Since the slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the intercept, then your equation is now in slope-intercept form.
