Question

Point-Slope Form:
y+3=2(x+1)

Answer 1

What do you need help with?

Answer 2

ok. um. how do you solve and graph it? ill show you what ive already done.

Answer 3

y+3=-2(x+1)
y+3=-2x+2
-3 -3
y=-2x...
Thats where im stuck.

Answer 4

...

Answer 5

To find the points so you can graph it, just plug 0 in for x or y:

y+3=2(x+1)
0+3=2(x+1)
3=2x+1
2=2x
1=x

Here's a point: (1, 0)

y+3=2(x+1)
y+3=2(0+1)
y+3=2
y= -1

Heres another point: (0, -1)
You can plug any number in for x or y to find the a point. :o)

Answer 6

Also, is it 2(x+1) or -2(x+1)?

Answer 7

y+3=-2(x+1)

Answer 8

Okay, then ignore that last comment lol.

y+3=-2(x+1)
0+3=-2x-2
3=-2x-2
5=-2x
-2.5=x

(-2.5, 0)

y+3=-2(0+1)
y+3=-2
y=-5

(0, -5)

Answer 9

oh. |:

Answer 10

You can do this and find a few different points and then you can graph them. :o)

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

can you help me with y+1=(x+5) also?

Answer 13

@MaeganR didn't word the question too well. She said "solve" as in put it in point intercept form: y=mx+b

Answer 14

y+1=-3/5(x+5) oops.

Answer 15

MaeganR. Expand/Distribute the LHS (Left Hand Side)

Answer 16

i should really write that down..
