Find the Slope y+5=2(x+1)

$y + 5 = 2 (x + 1)$

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 $2 (x + 1)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$y + 5 = 2 x + 2 \cdot 1$

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$y + 5 = 2 x + 2$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 2 x + 2 - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ .

$y = 2 x - 3$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $2$ .

$m = 2$
