Question

Change the following equation to slope-intercept form.y - (-3) = -2(x - 8)

Answer 1

Let us simplify the left-hand side and expand the right-hand side of the equation to get

$y+3=-2x+16$

subtracting 3 from both sides gives

$y=-2x+13$

which is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
