Answer:

y = -3/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The format of slope-intercept is:


\sf{y = mx + b}

Where:

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

So to write the equation, I just plug the data into y = mx + b:


\sf{y=-(3)/(5)x+(-3)}\\\\\sf{y=-(3)/(5)x-3}

Hence, the equation is y = -3/5x - 3.

Answer:

An equation for the slope and y-intercept would be y=-3/5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the formula for this, y=mx+b, in which the m stands for the slope and the x would be next to the slope always because the slope is ever changing, and the b stands for the y-intercept or in other words, where the line crosses the y-axis not the x-axis.
