Answer: yes.

y = 2x - 5. and y = -4x -2

Step-by-step explanation. This is commonly known as slope intercept form . The second equation is rewritten by subtracting 4x from both sides.

Answer:

Yes they can. y= -4x-2 and y= 2x-5

Explanation:

They can because if you subtract 4x from 4x+y=-2 from both sides of the equation you will get y= -4x-2 which has similar structure as y=2x-5 because you have y on the right side and the x and the conosant on the left.
