which slope intercept form equation to the point slope equation y-4=2/3(3x+6)

1 answer

To convert the given equation from point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), you need to manipulate the equation to isolate y on one side.

Given equation: y - 4 = (2/3)(3x + 6)

Distribute the (2/3) to both terms inside the parentheses:
y - 4 = (2/3)(3x) + (2/3)(6)

Simplify:
y - 4 = 2x + 4

Add 4 to both sides to isolate y:
y = 2x + 8

So the equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x + 8.
