Which equation describes the same line as y – 3 = –1(x + 5)?

a. y = –1x – 5
b. y = –1x – 2
c. y = –1x – 1
d. y = –1x + 8

y – 3 = –1(x + 5)

y - 3 = -x - 5

y = -x - 5 + 3

y = -x - 2

answer is B. y = –1x – 2

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

Given the equation of line:

Apply the distributive property we have;

Add 3 to both sides we have;

Simplify:

Therefore, an equation describes the same line as y – 3 = –1(x + 5) is,

the answer is b

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
