Question

How do you write `x-y=2` into slope intercept form?

Answer 1

`y = 1x+(-2)` is in slope intercept form with a slope of `1` and a y-intercept of `(-2)`

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is (in general)
`color(white)("XXXX")` `y = mx+b`

`x-y= 2` can be converted into this form by adding `y-2` to both sides giving:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `x-2 = y`
or
`color(white)("XXXX")` `y = x-2`

which can be made into explicit slope-intercept form as
`color(white)("XXXX")` `y=1x+(-2)`
