Question

Y - (-2) = 2/3( x - 1) divide each side by 3/3

Answer 1

first simplify the equation and then divide by 3/3 it will give you the correct answer.

hope it helps...

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y - ( - 2) = \frac{2}{3} (x - 1) \\ \\ y + 2 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 1) \\ dividing \: each \: side \: by \: \frac{3}{3} \\ \\ \frac{3}{3} (y + 2) = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{3} (x - 1) \\ \\ y + 2 = 2 \times 3(x - 1) \\ y + 2 = 6(x - 1) \\ y + 2 = 6x - 6 \\ y = 6x - 6 - 2 \\ y = 6x - 8$
