y%2B3=3%28x-1%29
1) Slope-Int form is y=mx+b; m=slope; b=y-intercept
2) Move the three from the left to the right by subtracting three to both sides
y=3%28x-1%29-3
3) Distribute the first three into (x-1)
y=3x-3-3
4) Simplify
y=3x-6
5) This shows that the line has a slope of three and has a y-int or point at (0,-6)
