5. solve the equation. show your work. check your answer.
4y + 5 = – 31

4y + 5 = -31
4y +(5 minus 5) = -31  minus 5  (in affect move the 5 "over")
4y =-36 ( - 31 minus 5 = -36)
4y/4 = -36/4 (divide the 4 from both sides)
y= -9 (-36 divide by 4 = -9)

hope this helps

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

The reporter forgot to multiply the decimal by 100, making it 25%
