Answer:

Explanation:

Slope intercept form

y + 7 = 3(x + 4) Change all the double minuses to pluses.

y + 7 = 3x + 12 Remove the brackets.

y + 7 - 7 = 3x + 12-7 Subtract 7 from both sides

y = 3x + 5

Slope

Whatever number is in front of the x is the slope Answer: 3

y intercept

Whatever comes after the plus sign (or minus sign) is the y intercept. It is a single number. Answer: 5

x intercept.

This occurs when y = 0

0 = 3x + 5 Subtract 5 from both sides

-5 = 3x + 5 -5

-5 = 3x Divide by 3

-5/3 = 3x / 3

-5/3 = x

Answer: x_intercept = -5/3
