Question

Rewrite the point-slope equation in slope-intercept form: y - 3 = 2(x + 4) A) y = 2x + 5 B) y = 2x + 7 C) y = 2x + 9 D) y = 2x + 11

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 11 (Answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

Starting with y - 3 = 2(x + 4), do two things:

1) Add 3 to both sides, and

2) carry out the indicated multiplication.

Then y = 3 + 2x + 8, or y = 2x + 11
