Question

What is the correct slope-intercept form of the equation y + 16 = 3(x − 0)?

-
a. y = 3x - 16
b. y=16 - 3r
c. y = r
d. y=3x + 16

Answer 1

a. y = 3x - 16

Explanation:

Find the Equation of the Line:

y=mx+b

by solving for y using the Point Slope Equation.

y−y1=m(x−x1)

y+16=3(x−0)

y+16=3x−(3×0)

y+16=3x−0

y=3x−0−16

y=3x−16

m=3

b=−16
