To write the equations in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we need to solve for y in both equations.
1) 4x + y = 2
Subtract 4x from both sides:
y = -4x + 2
2) x - y = 3
Subtract x from both sides:
-y = -x + 3
Multiply through by -1 to get y positive:
y = x - 3
So, the equations in y = mx + b form are:
1) y = -4x + 2
2) y = x - 3
4x+y=2
and
X-y=3
In y=mx+b form
