slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
y � 2 = 5(x + 7)
distribute 5 to each term inside parentheses:
y � 2 = 5x + 35
add 2 to both sides:
y � 2 + 2 = 5x + 35 + 2
y = 5x + 37 (this is what they're looking for)

The first of the forms for a linear equation is form. Equations in form look like this:

where is the of the line and is the of the line, or the of the point at which the the .
so, you have:

......... form
