Write in y=mx+b Form y+6=8(x-1)

$y + 6 = 8 (x - 1)$

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.

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $8 (x - 1)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$y + 6 = 8 x + 8 \cdot - 1$

Multiply $8$ by $- 1$ .

$y + 6 = 8 x - 8$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 8 x - 8 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $- 8$ .

$y = 8 x - 14$
