Question

Write in slope intercept form y-6=2(x+3)

Answer 1

Slope intercept form = y = mx + b

To convert to slope intercept form, we need simply only isolate the y variable.

y - 6 = 2(x + 3)

First, distributive property.

y - 6 = 2x + 6

Aadd 6 to both sides.

y = 2x + 12

The equation is now in slope intercept form.

Answer 2

y = 2x + 12 is your answer.

Explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis.

y - 6 = 2(x + 3)

y - 6 = 2x + 6

Next, isolate the variable y. Add 6 to both sides.

y - 6 (+6) = 2x + 6 (+6)

y = 2x + 6 + 6

y = 2x + 12

y = 2x + 12 is your answer.
