Question

[[Please Explain]] The equation y - 2/3 = -2 (x - 1/4) is written in point-slope form. What is the equation in slope-intercept form? ³
O y = -2x - 1/6
O y = -2x + 7/6
O y = -2x + 5/12
O y = -2x - 11/12

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is just solving for y in point-slope form

y - 2/3 = -2 (x - 1/4)

First you distribute the -2 because it is the first order of operation

y - 2/3 = -2x + 1/2

Then you add 2/3 on both sides because we want to isolate y

y = -2x + 1/2 + 2/3

Then we combine like terms

y = -2x + 7/6

Answer 2

B (second choice) is the answer
