Question

Y+4 = -2(x+5)
In slope intercept form

Answer 1

y= -2x + 14

Explanation:

y+4=-2(x+5)

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

y= -2(x+5) -4

Distribute the -2

y=-2x-10-4

Simplify

y= - 2x + 14

The slope is -2 and the y intercept is 14

Answer 2

y = -2x - 14

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

First, simplify. Distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis:

-2(x + 5) = -2x - 10

y + 4 = -2x - 10

Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b. Isolate the variable, y. What you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other side.

y + 4 (-4) = -2x - 10 (-4)

y = -2x + (-10 - 4)

y = -2x - 14

y = -2x - 14 is your answer.
