Solution
Solution Steps
To rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for \( y \). The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept. Start by distributing the 6 on the right side of the equation, then isolate \( y \) by moving other terms to the right side.
Step 1: Rewrite the Original Equation
We start with the equation given in the problem:
\[
y + 5 = 6(x - 4)
\]
Step 2: Distribute on the Right Side
Next, we distribute the \(6\) on the right side:
\[
y + 5 = 6x - 24
\]
Step 3: Isolate \(y\)
To isolate \(y\), we subtract \(5\) from both sides:
\[
y = 6x - 24 - 5
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
y = 6x - 29
\]
Final Answer
The equation in slope-intercept form is:
\[
\boxed{y = 6x - 29}
\]
