please help!

thank you

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Oh so you dont want an explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y=5x+12 isn't the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do any of you know how to help me with these ? i don't understand - Which point lies on the line described by the equation below? y - 3 = 2(x + 5) A. (3, 17) B. (4, 21) C. (4, 18) D. (3, -3) E. (-2, 13) F. (-1, 9)

Ok, so |dw:1434945650832:dw| so we want it in the equation of a line form (y=mx+b) to do this we can do the following: We are given a point (x,y) which we will treat as

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[(x_1, y_1) \implies (-1,3)\] since we are given all this information we can go directly to using point - slope form: \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\] we leave y and x alone, and plug in points (x1,y1) as presented above. So we have the following \[y-(-1) = m(x-3)\] now we know that our slope is 5 so we plug that in for m since m represents the slope in y = mx+b form, and b is the y - intercept. Doing some algebra with the above equation we get \[y+1 = 5x-15 \implies y=5x-16\]
