$2 y + x - 4 = 0$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 2.1.1

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 y - 4 = - x$

Step 2.1.2

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 y = - x + 4$

Step 2.2

Divide each term in $2 y = - x + 4$ by $2$ and simplify.
