#y = 3x - 2# is the Slope- Intercept form with

Slope #= 3#, y-intercept #= -2#

Explanation:

#y - 4 = 3(x-2)#

#y = 3x - 6 + 4#

#y = 3x - 2# is the Slope- Intercept form with

Slope #= 3#, y-intercept #= -2#

#y=3x-2#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#"distribute and rearrange the given equation into this form"#

#y-4=3x-6#

#"add 4 to both sides"#

#y=3x-2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#

#y=3x-2#

Explanation:

Recall that slope-intercept form is of the form

#y=mx+b#, where #m# is the slope and #b# is the #y#-intercept.

We can start to convert this equation by distributing the #3# on the right. We now have

#y-4=3x-6#

Remember, with slope-intercept form, we only want a #y# on the left side, so let's add #4# to both sides. We now have

#y=3x-2#

Hope this helps!
