Question

The equation y - 2 = 3(x + 1) is in point-slope

form. Which is the slope-intercept form?
0
y = 3x + 1
y = 3x - 3
y = 3x + 5

Answer 1

D.) y = 3x + 5

Explanation:

The general structure for an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

To convert the given equation into slope-intercept form, you need to do some expanding and rearranging.

y - 2 = 3(x + 1) <----- Given equation

y - 2 = 3x + 3 <----- Multiply 3 by every term in the parentheses

y = 3x + 5 <----- Add 2 to both sides

Answer 2

y=3x+5
