Identify Equation Format: Identify the equation format. The given equation y−3=2(x+1) is in the form of a linear equation, which can be written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Simplify Equation for Slope: Simplify the equation to find the slope. To do this, we need to distribute the 2 into the parentheses (x+1) and then isolate y on one side of the equation.Calculation: y−3=2×x+2×1
Combine Like Terms: Continue simplifying the equation by combining like terms.Calculation: y−3=2x+2
Add 3 to Solve for y: Add 3 to both sides of the equation to solve for y.Calculation: y=2x+2+3
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms on the right side of the equation.Calculation: y=2x+5
Identify Slope: Identify the slope from the simplified equation. The coefficient of x in the equation y=2x+5 is the slope of the line.
