Question

Sydney wrote the equation y+1=12(x−3). y + 1 = 1 2 ( x − 3 ) . Explain her error and then write the correct equation in point-slope form.

Answer 1

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

Given equation:

`\to y + 1 = 12 ( x - 3 )`

Using formula:

`\to \bold{y = mx +c}`

Solving the given equation:

`\to y + 1 = 12 ( x - 3 )\\\\\to y+1 =12x-36\\\\\to y=12x-36-1\\\\\to y= 12x-37\\\\`

compare the value form the given formula:

`\to m= 12`

Correct equation
`\to y= 12x-37`

solpe
`\to m= 12`
