Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line. The equation is y+4= -5/2(x-2)

Answer 1

Hello,

This problem is looking to have you distribute the factors correctly, and re-arrange the formula into standard form of the following:

y = m(x) + b

Where

m = slope

b = intercept

When you start:

y + 4 = (-5/2)*(x-2)

First: Distribute the (-5/2) term:

y + 4 = (-5/2) * x + 5

Next: Move the + 4 across the equal sign:

y = (-5/2) * x + 5 - 4

Last: Combine like terms:

y = (-5/2) * x + 1 *** Equation show in slope intercept form here

Identify the required information:

m = (-5/2) ---> your slope

b = 1 ------> your intercept

Answer 2

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Given the equation, we will rearrange it to the correct form.

y+4= -5/2(x-2) FOIL

y+4= -5/2x + 5 Combine Like Terms

y= -5/2x +1
