Question

For the equation
y - 3 = 2(x + 4),
the line has a slope of 2 and contains what point?

Answer 1

Answer:

(0,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 2 to (x + 4).

2. y - 3= 2x + 8

3. y= 2x + 11

4. This is now in y=mx + b format which means b is the y-intercept. The answer is (0,11).

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is (-4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the equation of a line $y-3=2(x+4)\quad \textnormal{with}\quady-y_{0} =m(x-x_{0} )$

$x_{0}=-4\quad\textnormal{and}\quad y_{0}=3$

Therefore, the point is (-4,3)
