Question

What is x–y=2 in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

`y=x-2`

Explanation:

`x-y=2`

A straight line in slope-intercept form is: `y = mx+c`
Where `m` is the slope of the iine and `c` is the `y-`intercept.

We can rewrite the equation in this example as:

`y=x-2`

Which is the equation in slope-intercept form; where `m=1 and c = -2` as can be seen on the graph below.

graph{x-y=2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Answer 2

`y=x-2`

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept form is `y=mx+b`
where m is the the slope
and b is the y-intercept

Given: `x-y=2`
1. Add y to both sides
`x=y+2`
2. Subtract the 2 from both sides
`y=x-2`

Answer 3

`y=x-2`

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is as follows:
`y=mx+c`

Given `x-y=2`

`x=2+y`

`x-2=y`

`y=x-2`
Which fits the slope-intercept form with m=1 and c=-2.
