Answer:

y=5x-12

Explanation:

The general equation of a line is y=mx+b.

The equation you currently have is y=5x+b.

Plug in the point (3,3) which will get you 3=5(3)+b.

Solve the equation by solving what the y-intercept (b) is to create the new final equation.

3=5(3)+b

3=15+b

b=3-15

b=-12

y=5x-12
