Question

Rewrite the following linear equation in slope-intercept form. Write your answer with no spaces. y-5=3(x+1)

Answer 1

i think the answer is y=3x+8 i believe it is right

Answer 2

Slope-intercept form:

The equation of straight line is given by:

`y=mx+b`

where,

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept.

As per the statement:

Rewrite the following linear equation in slope-intercept form.

Given the equation:

`y-5=3(x+1)`

Using distributive property,
`a \cdot(b+c) =a\cdot b+ a\cdot c`

then;

`y-5 = 3x+3`

Add 5 to both sides we have;

`y = 3x+8`

Therefore, the following linear equation in slope-intercept form is,
`y = 3x+8`
