Question

4.
Write this equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
y-2=-3(x - 4)

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{y=-3x+14}`

Explanation:

`y-2=-3(x-4)\\\\y-2=-3x+12\\\\y-2+2=-3x+12+2\\\\\boxed{y=-3x+14}`

Answer 2

First distribute the -3 through the parenthses

which gives us y - 2 = -3x + 12.

Move the number to the right side of the equation

by adding 2 to both sides to get y = -3x + 14.

Notice that the equation above is written in slope-intercept form because

the y term is isolated or by itself on the left side of the equation.
