$y=-2x+7/6.$

The eqn. of a line in Slope-Intercept Form is written as $: y=mx+c.$

So, let us simplify the given eqn. and mould it the desired form as under :-

Given $y-2/3=-2(x-1/4) rArry=2/3-2(x-1/4)=2/3+1/2-2x=-2x+7/6,$ i.e.,
The desired Form of eqn. is $: y=-2x+7/6.$

How do you write an equation in slope intercept form given y - 2/3 = -2(x - 1/4)y - 2/3 = -2(x - 1/4)?
