Question

Give the following equation in point slopr form, what is the slope of the line?

y - 4 = 3(x + 6)

Answer 1

Slope= 3

Explanation:

y - 4= 3(x+6)

y - 4= 3x + 18 distributive property

y - 4(+4) = 3x + 18(+4)

cancel out the 4 with its oposite and apply to both sides.

y = 3x + 22 final answer

Remember the slope intersept equation... y=mx+b

m is slope

b means the y-intersept.

So the final slope of the line is 3. (demostrated by graph below)
