To rewrite the equation -2x + y = 1 in y=mx+b form, follow these steps:
1. Add 2x to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with y on one side:
-2x + y + 2x = 1 + 2x
Simplifying the left side gives:
y = 1 + 2x
2. Rearrange the terms so that the equation is in the form y=mx+b:
y = 2x + 1
Thus, the equation -2x + y = 1 can be rewritten as y = 2x + 1.
Rewrite each of the following equations in y=mx+b form. Show each step!
