Question

The equation y-5=6(x+1) is written in point-slope form. What is the equation written in slope-intercept form?

A)y = 6x + 11
B)y = 6x – 1
C)y = 6x – 4
D)y = 6x + 6

Answer 1

a. y = 6x + 11

Explanation:

distribute and rearrange into slope-intercept form.

y - 5 = 6x + 6

add 5 to both sides

y = 6x + 6 + 5 ⇒ y = 6x + 11

Answer 2

Answer: Hello mate!

our equation is y - 5 = 6(x + 1), and we want to rewrite it in the slope-intercept form.

First lets distribute the parenthesis.

y - 5 = 6(x+1) = 6x + 6

now let's add 5 in both sides.

y-5 + 5 = 6x + 6 + 5

y = 6x + 11

Then the correct answer is the option A.
