How can you best rearrange the terms in the following expression to create an equivalent expression that would be easier to simplify? −4(y−5)+2y−77

-4y + 20 + 2y - 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the distributed property, so it now looks like this: -4y -(-20) + 2y-77Simplify: -4y + 20 + 2y - 77

I 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!
