Question

What is the slope of a line with the equation (y + 3) = 5(x - 2)?

Answer 1

`"slope "=5`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"given "y+3=5(x-2)`

`"distribute and rearrange"`

`y+3=5x-10`

`y=5x-13larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"`

`"with slope "=5`
