Y + 3 = - 1/3 ( 2x + 6 )

Question

Rrewrite equation in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, so we must get this equation to look like that.

y + 3 = -1/3(2x + 6) original equation

y + 3 = (-1/3)(2x) + (-1/3)(6) apply the distributive property

y + 3 = (-2/3)x -2 simplify

y= (-2/3)x - 2 - 3 subtract 3 from both sides

y = (-2/3)x - 5 simplify

Your answer is y = (-2/3)x - 5.
