Hey so I'm doing slope-intercept and I understand it and have been moving on, but I'm confused at this: "2 = -4 + b 6=b" How did the -4+b turn into 6=b?

By adding 4 to both sides.

2= -4 +b

2= b -4

2+4= b-4 +4

6= b

Another way to look at it is to move all the constants to one side. Here we have the constant 2 on the left hand side, and on the right we have the constant -4 and the variable b.

To isolate b, we move the constant -4 to the left hand side. Moving a number to the other side of the equal sign changes the sign of the number. So, -4 becomes a +4 on the left hand side.

2 +4= b

6= b
