Answer:

y= 5x+3

Explanation:

first, we want to have it in a correct linear equation format (solve intercept formula): y=mx+b

so we just switch the equation around:

*minus y from both sides of the equation*

5x-y= -3

*minus 5x from each side*

-y= -5x-3

*multiply the whole equation by -1 to make the equation positive* (remember negative times a negative equals positive)

Final equation: y= 5x+3
