Write in y=mx+b Form y+8=4(x-5)

$y + 8 = 4 (x - 5)$

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 $4 (x - 5)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$y + 8 = 4 x + 4 \cdot - 5$

Multiply $4$ by $- 5$ .

$y + 8 = 4 x - 20$

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

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 4 x - 20 - 8$

Subtract $8$ from $- 20$ .

$y = 4 x - 28$
