Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope. Through (-1,-5), slope =6

Answer 1

To write this in slope-intercept form you will first need to put it into point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

The point they give you is (x₁,y₁) and the slope is m, so when you substitute your values in you will get:

y - (-5) = 6(x - (-1)) I would then change the minus negatives to addition:

y + 5 = 6(x + 1) Next you need to distribute(multiply) the 6:

y + 5 = 6x + 6 Lastly you need to get y by itself by subtracting 5 on each side of your equation:

y = 6x + 1

I hope this helped!
