Question

Y-2 = -3(x + 6), write the equation of the line in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer: y=-3x-16

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

y-2=-3(x+6) [distribute]

y-2=-3x-18 [add both sides by 2]

y=-3x-16

Now, we see that the equation above matches the slope-intercept form equation. You can see that m=-3 and b=-16.
