Question

Rewrite the equation y - 4= 2(x + 4) in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

First distribute the 2 through the parenthses on the right side.

So we have y - 4 = 2x + 8.

In slope-intercept form, the y is by itself on the left side.

So we add 4 to isolate the y on the left to get y = 2x + 12.

So in slope-intercept form, our equation is y = 2x + 12.
