Question

Convert into slope-intercept form: y-1=m(x-3)" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify: y-1=2x-6

y-1=2(x-3)

First simplify and distribute everything.

y-1=2x-6

So, x equals 2 because it got distributed into the numbers inside the parenthesis.  Same with the 2 and -3.  They multiplied to become -6.

Since it's y-1=2x-6, you can simplify it even more so the -1 goes to the other side and turns into positive 1.

y - 1 (+ 1) = 2x -6 (+ 1)

-1(+1)=0 which leaves just the variable y on the left side.

-6(+1)=-5 which leaves 2x-5 on the right side.

This results in y=2x-5.  Hope this helped ;)

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 1 = 2(x - 3)

y - 1 = 2x - 6

y - 1 + 1 = 2x -6 + 1

y = 2x - 5
