Yes! The slope-intercept form is: $\"y+=+mx%2Bb\"$ so you need to solve for y, but note that y is positive.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-y+=+2\"$ Add y to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+y%2B2\"$ Now subtract 2 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-2+=+y\"$ or $\"highlight%28y+=+x-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
