Question

Write the equation
y + 5 = 4(x + 2)
in slope intercept form
(y mx + b).

Answer 1

y = 4x + 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b

Given

y + 5 = 4(x + 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 5 = 4x + 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

y = 4x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form
