Answer:


y=4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation


y+5=4(x+2)

In slope-intercept form, wee need to solve for y in the previous equation:


y=4(x+2)-5

(we move the +5 that was on the left side as a -5 on the right side)

Now, se multiply the 4 by the (x + 2):


y=4x+4\cdot2-5

And solve the operations that are left:


y=4x+8-5
y=4x+3

this is the slope intercept for, where m=4 (the slope) and b=3 (the intercept)
