Write the slope- intercept form of the equation of each line:

y - 4 = 5(x + 2)

8x - 7y = 17

1 answer

The slope-intercept form of the equation of each line is given by:
y = mx + b

For the equation y - 4 = 5(x + 2), we can simplify it to slope-intercept form:
y - 4 = 5x + 10
y = 5x + 10 + 4
y = 5x + 14

For the equation 8x - 7y = 17, we can rearrange it to slope-intercept form:
-7y = -8x + 17
y = (-8/-7)x + 17/-7
y = 8/7x - 17/7

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation for each line is:

The first line: y = 5x + 14
The second line: y = 8/7x - 17/7
