Question

Rewrite y - 7 = -3(x - 2) in slope
intercept form.

Answer 1

this is the answer y=-3x+13

Answer 2

y - 7 = -3(x - 2) is written in point-slope form.

In this type of equation, it gives you a coordinates and the slope.

In this equation it gives the point (2, 7) and the slope -3.

______

We can it into slope-intercept: y = -3x + b

But now we have to solve for the y-intercept using the point (2, 7).

y = -3x + b

7 = -3(2) + b

7 = -6 + b

7 + 6 = -6 + b + 6

13 = b

______

Now, we can write the final equation as: y = -3x + 13
