Y= -3x -16
Switch the 1 to the other side making it negative and distribute

Answer:

y = -3x + 14

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b. We need to get y + 1 = -3(x - 5) into y = mx + b form. Lets solve y + 1 = -3 (x - 5) first.

y + 1 = -3(x - 5)

Apply distributive property.

y + 1 = -3x + 15

Get y alone. Subtract 1 from each side.

y = -3x + 15 - 1

Subtract.

y = -3x + 14

Here is your answer. y + 1 = -3(x - 5) is now in slope intercept form. I hope this helps you!
