Answer:

y = 3/5x +7

Explanation:

3x - 5y = -35

To get to slope intercept form ( y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept ), we need to solve for y

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x - 5y =-3x -35

-5y = -3x-5y

Divide each side by -5 to isolate y

- 5y/ -5 =-3x/-5 -35/-5

y = 3/5x +7
