Write the equation y - 4 = -2(x - 5) in slope-intercept form.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

y=mx+c where m is slope and c is y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't t y=mx+b

OpenStudy (aravindg):

try to bring it in that form

OpenStudy (aravindg):

b or c or anything you like ,its just a constant indicating the y intercept

OpenStudy (aravindg):

so first open up the Right hand side and add 4 on both sides

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

Make sure to distribute the part on the right. multiply -2 by everything in the parenthesis.

Thanks Guys <3

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

\[y=mx+b\]
