Answer:

y = -5/2x - 10

Explanation:

You plug in the slope for m, so you have y = -5/2x + b.

You then plug in the x and y values from the given point to isolate b.

(5) = (-5/2)(-6) + b

5 = 15 + b

b = -10

Plug b into the initial equation, and you have your slope intercept form.

y = -5/2x - 10

Hope this helped!
