Question

Convert the following equation to Slope-Intercept Form

HINT: Slope-Intercept Form is y = mx + b
y-8= 3(x + 5)

Answer 1

y = 3x + 23

Explanation:

Given the equation :

y - 8 = 3(x + 5)

We are to convert the equation to slope - intercept form:

Recall: general form of a slope - intercept model:

y = mx + c

Hence,

y - 8 = 3x + 15

y = 3x + 15 + 8

y = 3x + 23

Comparing :

y = mx + c

y = 3x + 23
