Problem: y−6=−4x

graph{y=-4x -6 [-9.83, 10.17, -7.92, 2.08]}

Answer: y=−4x+6

Explanation:

y=mx+b

So, what you have is y−6=−4x, but to make it in slope-intercept form, it needs to look like y=mx+b. b is where the line intercepts y, and m is what the angle is.

y−6=−4c

Slope-intercept form is where you have y on one side and mx+b on the other side of the equation (on either side of the equal sign).
So to get y on one sode of the equation alone, you need to get rid of −6. To do so, you add +6 to each side of the equation and you have y=−4x+6.
