How do you change #y-5=3(x-2)# to slope intercept form?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

Write it as: #y-5=3x-6# #y=3x-6+5# #y=3x-1# Where the slope is 3 and the intercept is -1.

To change the equation ( y - 5 = 3(x - 2) ) to slope-intercept form, ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept, follow these steps:

Distribute ( 3 ) into ( x - 2 ) to get ( 3x - 6 ).
Add ( 5 ) to both sides of the equation to isolate ( y ).
The equation becomes ( y = 3x - 1 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
