Make y the subject :
-----------------------------------------------------------
y - 3 = 4(x + 8)
y - 3 = 4x + 32 // Apply distributive property
y = 4x + 35 // Add 3 to both sides
-----------------------------------------------------------
Identify Slope :
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slope = 4
-----------------------------------------------------------
Find a point on the line :
-----------------------------------------------------------
When x = 0,
y = 4(0) + 35 // Sub x = 0 into the equation
y = 35 // Combine like terms
Point = (0, 35)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Answers :
(a) Slope = 4
(b) One point on the line is (0, 35)

Regrouping in subtraction means that if you can't subtract because the digit on the bottom has a greater value than the digit on the top (such as 3-6)m so in this case you would have to regroup twice.
Answer:
m
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is constant. This means no matter the two points on the line that you use to calculate the slope you will get the same number for the slope. Your equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept. So your equation is in that exact form with the same use of constant numbers m and b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
So the answer is m.
However, we could use slope formula = change in y divided by change in x.
Change in y from x=2 to x=13 is [(m(13)+b)-m(2)+b)]=13m+b-2m-b=13m-2m+b-b=11m+0=11m.
Change in x is 13-2=11.
So the slope is 11m/11=m.
