Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

y = 2x + 11

Discussion:

Slope-intercept from is y = mx + b. Rewrite the point-slope equation as follows:


y - 3 = 2(x+4) => add 3 to both sides

y - 3 + 3 = 2(x+4) + 3 =>

y = 2x + 8 + 3 => combine like terms

y = 2x + 11

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:


Explanation:

We can simplify the given equation to isolate y so we get the slope intercept formula ,

Because the slope intercept formula is

y= mx+b

Here we are given that

y-3 = 2(x+4)

Distriute the 2 on the parenthesis

y-3= 2x+8

Add 3 to both sides

y= 2x+8+3

y=2x+11

so the slope intercept formula

is

y= 2x+11
