: 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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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
