Question

I am struggling with understanding the distributive properties of the problems I am doing.  Can someone please help me step by step?
y-2=-4/3(x+3)

anonymous · Answer

now multiply both sides by 3(x+3)

anonymous · Answer

what would u get?

anonymous · Answer

u there?

anonymous · Answer

The multiply fractions with whole numbers that messes me up every time!  So -4/3(x+3) is hard for me.

anonymous · Answer

(y-2) ( x+3)3 = -4
3[y(x+3) -2(x+3)]=4

anonymous · Answer

That will get me the slop-intercept?

anonymous · Answer

wait..forget what i said

anonymous · Answer

The problem starts out (1,-3) m=-2/5

anonymous · Answer

I am suppose to graph the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.  Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line if possible.

anonymous · Answer

so do
(y+3) = -2(x-1)/5

anonymous · Answer

As far as I got was, y-3+3=-2/5x+2/5+3.  Would that be right?

anonymous · Answer

Are you there?
