use the ditributive
property
-3(y+3)=2y+3
and thats what ya get -3y+-9 =2y+3 then subtract the 2 and add +2y -2y it to the otherside -1y+ -9 =+3 then add the -9 to the other side +9 +9 next divide by -1 -1y= 12 then your anwser is y=-12 |
| To solve an equation that
states the slope and a point you must do the folowing:
Slope = 3 and the line goes through the point (2,9) to put it in y= mx+b form you alreday know the m is 3 because the m is slope and the problem states the slope is 3 an easy way to figure the rest out is to graph it and you`ll find that the y intercept is 3 which means da anwser to da the problem is y = 3x+3

| y = mx + b
get x by itself
y - b = mx
subtract b from both sides
y - b = x
divide both sides by m
Now you have x by itself |
