The answer is $y = 4 x - 7$ $y=4x-7$ .

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ , where $m$ $m$ is the slope and $b$ $b$ is the y-intercept.

In order to convert $4 x - y - 7 = 0$ $4x-y-7=0$ into slope-intercept form, solve for $y$ $y$ .

$4 x - y - 7 = 0$ $4x-y-7=0$

Subtract $4 x$ $4x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- y - 7 = - 4 x$ $-y-7=-4x$

Add $7$ $7$ to both sides.

$- y = - 4 x + 7$ $-y=-4x+7$

Multiply both sides by $- 1$ $-1$ .

$y = 4 x - 7$ $y=4x-7$
