Answer:

y = (-3)/(5) x + 5 which is the last option

Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

We are given that:
slope =
(-3)/(5)

This means that, the equation now is:
y =
(-3)/(5) x + c

Now, for the y-intercept:
y -intercept is defined as the value of the y at x = 0.
We are given that:
at x = 0 .........> y = 5
This means that our y-intercept is 5

Based on the above, the equation of the line is:

y = (-3)/(5) x + 5

Hope this helps :)

Given:

Slope = -3/5

y - intercept = (0 , 5)

The answer is y = -3/5 + 5

Note:

The x = 0 and the y = 5 . We are looking for y- intercept so we use 5 instead of 0.

Since the formula for slope intercept form is y = mx + b, we use option number 4 as our equation. for option number 1, it did not include the negative sign that was given in the slope so we opt to choose option 1.
