Question

Give the slope of y+2=3(x-7) and point on the line

Answer 1

Explanation:

y+2=3(x-7)

y+2=3x-21

y=3x-21-2

y= 3x-23

Slope is 3

Answer 2

Slope intercept form;

y = mx + b

Where y is the independent variable, and x is the dependent variable, 'm' represents the slope and 'b' represents the y intercept.

We are given;

y + 2 =3(x - 7)

So we rearrange this into slope intercept form.

y + 2 = 3(x - 7)

Simplify:

y + 2 = 3x - 21

Apply inverse operation of addition (subtraction).

-2 -2

y = 3x - 23
