Question

Put the following equation in slope-intercept form: y − 4 = − 1 5 ( x − 4 )

y = ?

Answer 1

y = 15x - 56

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

y - 4 = 15(x - 4) ← distribute parenthesis

y - 4 = 15x - 60 ( add 4 to both sides )

y = 15x - 56 ← in slope- intercept form
