Write in y=mx+b Form 2x-y=-14

$2 x - y = - 14$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- y = - 14 - 2 x$

Divide each term in $- y = - 14 - 2 x$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- y = - 14 - 2 x$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{- 14}{- 1} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{y}{1} = \frac{- 14}{- 1} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 1}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 14}{- 1} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $- 14$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 14 + \frac{- 2 x}{- 1}$

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{- 2 x}{- 1}$ .

$y = 14 - 1 \cdot (- 2 x)$

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot (- 2 x)$ as $- (- 2 x)$ .

$y = 14 - (- 2 x)$

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 14 + 2 x$

Reorder $14$ and $2 x$ .

$y = 2 x + 14$
