slope-intercept form of y + 3 + -3(x - 6) (i get y=3x-15)

[taragbeh]

Hey Guys can you let em know if I am on the right track. Sometimes I messed up with the negative/postive.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

y+3+-3(x-6)


y+3=-3x-18
y=3x-18-3
y=3x-15

Well, stop missing the signs. You admit to knowing that you have difficulty with it. Why not practice and gain greater confidence?

-3(x-6) = -3x + 18

Try again, and get that "=" in there where it belongs.

y+3=-3(x-6) Sorry it was an error with the equal sign

y+3=-3x+18
y=-3x+18-3
y=-3x+15


Is this correct?
