Question

Solving for Y. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line. Show work!

1) x - y = -4 ?

Answer 1

y=x+4

Explanation:

Subtract

x

from both sides.

−y=−4−x

The equation is in standard form.

−y=−x−4

Divide both sides by

−1

.

−y−1=−x−4−1

Dividing by

−1

undoes the multiplication by

−1

.

y=−x−4−1

Divide

−4−x

by

−1

.

y=x+4
