: my class is working on the standard form of a linear equation. i was absent for a long period of time and unfortunatley missed some things. so here is the problem.
i need to get 4x-y-7=0 to be y=mx+b so far i've got it down to -y=7-4x
now i have this gut feeling that that's wrong. is it? and if it isn't, then how do you do it. thanks for your time.

4x-y-7=0 to be y=mx+b
Add y to both sides to get:
4x-7 = y
Rearrange:
y = 4x-7
--------
Comment: This is the slope-intercept form
The standard form is 4x-y=7
