Divide both sides by -3

y + 5 = -15/3

Simplify 15/3 to 5

y + 5 = -5

Subtract 5 from both sides

y = -5 - 5

Simplify -5 - 5 to -10

y = -10

Answer: y=-10 and -10=y. *The answer should be the negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

divide by -3 both sides of an equation.

-3(y+5)/-3=15/-3

simplify.

y+5=-5

subtract by 5 both sides of an equation.

y+5-5=-5-5

simplify by equation.

5+5=10

y=-10

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Answer: y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in Slope-Intercept format: y = mx + b where

m is the slope (difference in y's over difference in x's)
b is the y-intercept (value of y when x = 0)

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\\text{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(0,1)\quad \text{and}\quad \text{let }(x_2, y_2)=(1,4)\quad then\\\\m=\dfrac{4-1}{1-0}=\dfrac{3}{1}=3$

b = 1 refer to the table that shows y = 1 when x = 0

Now input m = 3 and b = 1 into the Slope-Intercept formula:

y = 3x + 1

What is the equation of this line in standard form

Yuri [45]

Line joining (-3, -1) and (1/2, 2)

Point point form for a line is

(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)

(1/2 - - 3)(y - -1) = (2 - -1)(x - -3)

(7/2)(y+1)=3(x+3)

7(y+1)=6(x+3)

7 - 6(3) = 6x - 7y

6x - 7y = -11

Answer: second choice, 6x - 7y = -11
