Answer:


y=-3x+14, slope intercept form


3x+y =14, standard form

Explanation:


y + 1 = -3(x - 5)

We need to write the given equation in slope intercept form or standard form

slope intercept form is
y=mx+b

To get slope intercept form , we need to get y alone


y + 1 = -3(x - 5) ( multiply -3 inside the parenthesis )


y+1=-3x+15 , subtract 1 on both sides


y=-3x+14

Standard form is
Ax + By = C

To get standard form we keep x term and y term on the left hand side


y=-3x+14

Add 3x on both sides


3x+y =14
