Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

Answer 1

Answer: y = 2x - 2

Explanation: The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y = mx + b
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
-y = 2 - 2x
Multiply each term in -y = 2 - 2x by -1
(-y) . -1 = 2 . -1 + (-2x) . -1
Multiply (-y) . -1
Multiply -1 by -1
Multiply y by 1
y = 2 . -1 + (-2x) . -1
Simplify each term
Multiply 2 by -1
y = -2 + (-2x) . -1
Multiply -1 by -2
y = -2 + 2x
Reorder -2 and 2x
y = 2x - 2
