Question

PLS HELP Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.

y + 8 = –3(x + 7)


Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer is y = -3x -29

Step by step

An equation in the slope-intercept form is written as. y=mx+b.
m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

y +8 = -3x -21

Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate y

y + 8 - 8 = -3x -21 -8

y = -3x -29

Answer 2

`\sf \: y = -3x - 29`

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ y + 8 = -3(x + 7)

The slope-intercept form is,

→ y = mx + b

Let's rewrite the equation,

→ y + 8 = -3(x + 7)

→ y + 8 = -3x - 21

→ y = -3x - 21 - 8

→ [ y = -3x - 29 ]

Thus, answer is y = -3x - 29.
