transform y - 2 = 2 (4x + 7) into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)

1 answer

To transform the given equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to solve for y.

First, distribute the 2 on the right side of the equation:

y - 2 = 8x + 14

Now, add 2 to both sides of the equation:

y = 8x + 14 + 2
y = 8x + 16

Therefore, the equation y - 2 = 2 (4x + 7) can be expressed in slope-intercept form as y = 8x + 16.
