Question

Rewrite the following linear equation in slope intercept form y-5=3(x+1)

Answer 1

y = 3x + 8

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given y - 5 = 3(x + 1)

distribute and rearrange into the required form

y - 5 = 3x + 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

y = 3x + 8 ← in slope- intercept form
