Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (6, 2) and has a slope of 3?

y = x +

@bruhhh

Answer 1

slope intercept is y-y1=m(x-x1)

so y-2=3(x-6)
:)

Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

so you mean y=3x+6?

Answer 4

Well if they want just the form of it, no simplifying or anything, then you'd leave it how I typed it.
They just wanted you to plug the numbers in to form it

Answer 5

it says y=___x+___

Answer 6

so i can't put y-2

Answer 7

Oh I gotchya, then they do want you to simplify it.
y-2=3(x-6)
y-2=3x-18
y=3x-16

Answer 8

Does that make sense?

Answer 9

they don't want me to simlify it

Answer 10

i can't put y-2=3(x-6)

Answer 11

That's really the only answer that would be right though if they have it set up as the normal equation of a line

Answer 12

Oh I meant, put y=3x-16 instead lol

Answer 13

I was just showing how they got from the point-slope form to the equation of a line, does that make sense at all?

Answer 14

how you get 16 and the minus sign?

Answer 15

So plugging in for point-slope gave us
y-2=3(x-6)
distributing the 3 to the x & 6 gives us
y-2=3x-18
Then to get the y by itself, you add the 2 to both sides of the equal sign, giving us
y=3x-16

Answer 16

as i said it can't be y-2=3(x-6) because that's not the equation

Answer 17

its y=___x+___

Answer 18

Yes so it's now y=3x-16

Answer 19

oh

Answer 20

thanks

Answer 21

Lol it's the y-intercept can be negative if the value is negative. Hope that helped!!
