Question

Rewrite in slope intercept form y-2=3(x 8)

Answer 1

Our answer is y = 3x + 26.

`\Large\texttt{Explanation}`

We are asked to rewrite the following equation in point-slope form:

`\blacktriangleright\quad\sf{y-2=3(x+8)}`

First distribute 3:

`\blacktriangleright\quad\sf{y-2=3x+24}`

Next, add 2 to both sides:

`\blacktriangleright\quad\sf{y=3x+24+2}`

`\blacktriangleright\quad\sf{y=3x+26}`

`\therefore` our slope-intercept equation is y = 3x + 26

___

Note:

Slope-intercept is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

y = 3x + 26

Explanation:

y - 2 = 3(x + 8)

y - 2 = 3x + 24

y = 3x + 26

So, the answer is y = 3x + 26
