The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.
First, expand the terms in parenthesis on the right side of the equation by multiplying each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:
y - 5 = 6 ( x + 1 )
y - 5 = ( 6 × x ) + ( 6 × 1 )
y - 5 = 6 x + 6
Now, add 5 to each side of the equation to solve for y while keeping the equation balanced:
y - 5 + 5 = 6 x + 6 + 5
y - 0 = 6 x + 11
y = 6 x + 11
