Answer:

y=3/2x+3/2

Explanation:

point at (-6,-5)

slope = m = 3/2

y = mx+b

(-6)=(3/2)(-5)+b >>> substituting x & y to solve for b

-6 = (-15/2)+b >>> simplify previous equation

-6 + (15/2) = b >>> isolate and solve for m

3/2 = b

therefore, the equation of the line passing through the point (-6,-5) with a slope of 3/2 is y=(3/2)x+(3/2)
