Question

What is the slope of the line?
y + 1 = 3(x- 4)

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

What is the slope of the line?

y + 1 = 3(x- 4)

y + 1 = 3x - 12

y = 3x - 13

the number next to the x is the slope which is 3

answer : 3

Answer 2

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Let's start by converting this equation to slope intercept form

First Simplify

`y + 1 = 3(x- 4)\\y+1=3x-12`

Then isolate y

`y+1-1=3x-12-1\\\\y=3x-13`

In slope intercept form, y=mx+b, the slope is m

In this equation the slope would be 3
