Question

How do you answer this? (this is for slopes.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y= 2x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation of $2x-y+3 =-1$ and we need to put into $y = mx+b$ form.

First, we subtract 3 on both sides to get the variables all on one side.

$2x-y+(3 - 3)=(-1 -3)$

$2x-y = -4$

We need to now isolate y on its own so we subtract $2x$ on both sides.

$(2x-2x)-y=(-4-2x)$

$-y=-2x-4$

We almost done! We then need to divide the invisible negative on both sides which is a -1.

$\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-2x-4}{-1}$

$y=2x+4$

When we divide the the negatives together, we know that two negatives divided together is a positive. Therefore, we get our answer $y=2x+4$

Hoped this helped!
