Question

Choose a linear function for the line representing by the point slope equation y-5=3(x-2)

Answer 1

multiply 3x and -2 by 3 and add 5 to right side of equal sign to get y = -1

Answer 2

y=3x-1

Explanation:

To find the linear function you first need to put the equation into standard slope intercept form which is y=mx+b. m represents the slope and b represents where the line intercepts the y axis.

To figure it out you need to solve for y.

y-5=3(x-2)

Expand 3(x-2) to 3x-6.

y-5=3x-6

Isolate the y by adding 5 to both sides, giving you y=3x-1.

The slope is 3 and the Y intercept is -1.
