Rewrite the following linear equation in slope intercept form. Write your answer with no spaces. Y+4 = - 2 (x-1)

Answer: y=-2x + (-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation in slope intercept form

y = mx + b

If y + 4 = - 2 (x-1)

First open the bracket

y + 4 = - 2x + 2

Add - 4 to both sides of the equation

y + 4 - 4 = - 2x + 2 - 4

-4 will cross out + 4 in the left hand side of the equation

y=-2x-2 can be written as y=-2x + (-2)

y = - 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y + 4 = - 2 (x-1)

y + 4 = - 2*x - 1 * - 2

y + 4 = - 2x + 2

y = - 2x + 2 - 4

y = - 2x - 2
