Answer:

y =3 x

Explanation:

The standard equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as;

y -y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given the line 3x - y = 5

Get the slope

- y = -3x + 5

y = 3x - 5

Slope m = 3

Substitute m = 3 and (-1, -5) into the given formula

y - (-5) = 3(x-(-1))

y+5 = 3(x+1)

y + 3 = 3x+3

y = 3x + 3 - 3

y = 3x

Hence the equation in slope intercept form is y =3 x
