Question

Given the equation y − 3 = (x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Slope intercept form looks like

\[y = mx + b\]

you have

y - 3 = x + 6

what can you do to get 'y' by itself on that left side of the equation?

Answer 2

do you do multiplication?

Answer 3

not quite

y - 3 = x + 6

you can add 3 to both sides of the equation...

-3 + 3 = 0 so it cancels it out on that left side....so

y - 3 = x + 6
+3 +3

y + 0 = x + 9

y = x + 9

do you get why we add instead of multiply?

Answer 4

wow ok i get it now hahaha

Answer 5

thank you so much

Answer 6

anytime :)
