Find the Slope and y-intercept h(x)=(3x-19)-(-18+5x)

$h (x) = (3 x - 19) - (- 18 + 5 x)$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $(3 x - 19) - (- 18 + 5 x)$ .

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$y = 3 x - 19 - - 18 - (5 x)$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 18$ .

$y = 3 x - 19 + 18 - (5 x)$

Multiply $5$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 3 x - 19 + 18 - 5 x$

Simplify by adding terms.

Subtract $5 x$ from $3 x$ .

$y = - 2 x - 19 + 18$

Add $- 19$ and $18$ .

$y = - 2 x - 1$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - 2$

$b = - 1$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- 2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 1)$

Slope: $- 2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 1)$
