Question

Find the slope

y-2=-3(x+1) Help very much appreciated

Answer 1

what is your first step?

Answer 2

Thats the problem idk :/

Answer 3

did you try distributive property?

Answer 4

I missed a day of school and I'm behind

Answer 5

ok ill try to help, but it is against the code of conduct to just give you the answer.

Answer 6

I know

Answer 7

@VJT no offence but for real

Answer 8

what?

Answer 9

So what do i do first?

Answer 10

y-2=-3(x+1)
you are multiplying -3*x first=-3x
then multiply -3*1=-3
y-2= -3x-3

Answer 11

theirs your first step

Answer 12

nvm

Answer 13

next step is to get y all by itself.
y-2= -3x-3
+2 +2 so your adding 2 on both sides of the equation to get...
y=-3x-1

Answer 14

that is your answer

Answer 15

the slope would be -3x

Answer 16

Ok I'm starting to understand thanks!

Answer 17

Would you like a medal?

Answer 18

no problem do you have anymore. i can help. and i kinda wouldn't mind a medal

Answer 19

thanks

Answer 20

good job @VJT

Answer 21

Yes i do

Answer 22

y+6=1/3(x-4)

Answer 23

ok can you try to start this one out on your own? or should i show you the first step

Answer 24

i am not smart

Answer 25

Wouldn't it be the same thing?

Answer 26

yes, doing the distributive property first.

Answer 27

y+6=1/3(x-4)
1/3*x=1/3x
1/3*4=1.3

Answer 28

So 1.3 is my slope correct?

Answer 29

correct
