Write in y=mx+b Form y-1=5(x-1)

$y - 1 = 5 (x - 1)$

Step 1

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

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $5 (x - 1)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

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

Multiply $5$ by $- 1$ .

$y - 1 = 5 x - 5$

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

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 5 x - 5 + 1$

Add $- 5$ and $1$ .

$y = 5 x - 4$
