Question

Explain how to write the equation y – 2 = 5(x + 7) in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

You would have to solve the right side first.

Answer 2

y = 5x + 37

Answer 3

You distribute the right side and then add 2 to both sides.

Answer 4

oh

Answer 5

distribute the right hand side

then add 2 to both sides

you need to end up with an equation in the form

y = mx + b

hope this helps

Answer 6

The adding 2 will cancel the -2 since we want to isolate y
