Answer:
y = 2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>-24=2(x-4)
Use distributive property
-24=2x-8
Add 8 to both sides
-16=2x
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: -8=x</span>
Answer:
y = 3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
y - 3x = 4 ( add 3x to both sides )
y = 3x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = 3x + c
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3
y = 3x - 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form
