Al and Trixie are trying to find the slope-intercept equation of the line passing through the point (2, 5) with slope -2. Al begins by writing the equation y - 5 = -2(x - 2). Next, he distributes to get y - 5 = -2x + 4. Trixie begins by writing the equation 5 = -2(2) + b. Then she gets 5 = -4 + b. Are Al and Trixie going to get the same final equations?
