Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), then identify the slope (m =) and y-intercept (b =) of the equation.

-3y – 5 = -2(x + 11) + 2

Answer 1

Answer: y =
`-(2)/(3) x` -5

Explanation:

Distribute:

-3y-5=-2x(x+11)+2

Rewrite:

-3y-5=-2x-22+2

Combind alike terms:

-2x-20

Rewrite again:

-3y-5=-2x-20

Add 5 to both sides and rewrite:

-3y=-2x-15

Divide by -3:

y=
`-(2)/(3) x` - 5

(Sorry if it's incorrect im barely paying attention lol)
