How would you convert 2y+2x=2 to y=mx+b form?

Answer 1

Hi Brynn,

You would "solve" the equation for y (or rewrite the equation) using inverse operations.

2y + 2x = 2

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

2y = -2x + 2

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

2y = -2x + 2

2 2

y = -x + 1 This is in the form y= mx + b
