Answer:

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,
