First plug the point ans slope into the point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=2(x-(-2))

Simplify

y-1=2(x+2)

This is really confusing. Thanks for helping.

Mandarinka [93]

Count change of signs to tell positive roots
then replace x with -x and evaluate, then count change in sign for negative roots

initially
+, -, -, +, +, -
3 changes
3 or 1 positive roots

replacing x with -x
-,-,+,+,-,-
2 changes
2 or 0 negative roots

Solve for x. 3x + 5 = 23

Lunna [17]

[|] Answer [|]

$\boxed{X \ = \ 6}$

[|] Explanation [|]

3x + 5 = 23

_________

Subtract 5 From Both Sides:

3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5

Simplify:

3x = 18

Divide Both Sides By 3:

$\frac{3x}{3} \ = \ \frac{18}{3}$

Simplify:

X = 6
