Answer:

y = 3x + 17

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = 3 , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 5, 2) , that is x = - 5, y = 2 into the partial equation

2 = - 15 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 15 = 17

y = 3x + 17 ← equation of line
