Question

Which of these points lies on the line described by the equation below?

y - 8 = 3(x + 6)

A. (8, -6)
B. (6, -8)
C. (-8, 6)
D. (-6, 8)

Answer 1

Would it be C? (-8,6)

Answer 2

what I would first do is diribute the 3 to the x and 6

Answer 3

it would be y-8 = 3x +18

Answer 4

but then what do I do?

Answer 5

well what would you do to get it into slope-intercept form?

Answer 6

3*0 + 18

Answer 7

but that doesn't help me find the answer?

Answer 8

What I would do is add 8 to both sides to get y=3x+26

Answer 9

that cancels the 8 out leaving y=3x+26

Answer 10

right?

Answer 11

right

Answer 12

can you attempt to graph?

Answer 13

sure

Answer 14

ok what do i graph?

Answer 15

ok well the y intercept is 26 so you have to go up 26
