Question

7. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form given the following:Point (-5, -3), slope =3/5

Answer 1

start by writing in the form

`y=mx+b`

where you already have the slope and you must find b, which is the y-intercept

`y=(3)/(5)x+b`

use the point given (-5,-3) to find b

`\begin{gathered} -3=(3)/(5)(-5)+b \\ -3=-3+b \\ -3+3=b \\ b=0 \end{gathered}`
