Question

Solve the following equation for y

Y-3=-5 (x-(-2))

Answer 1

y = -5x -7

Explanation:

So first we distribute the brackets inside: y - 3 = -5 (x + 2)

Then we distribute again: y - 3 = -5x - 10

We are trying to put it in y = mx + b form so we have to isolate y: Add 3 to both sides

y = -5x -7

Answer 2

Y=-5x-7

Steps:

y-3=-5(x-(-2))

y-3=-5(x+2)

y-3=-5x-10

y=-5x-10+3

y=-5x-7
