Answer:

y = -3x -1

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b or y=mx-b

m is the slope (steepness of the line, think of a steep or level mountain)

b is the y-intercept (the place where the line FIRST meets the y-axis a.k.a. the vertical line down the middle of a graph.)

y= -3x -1

means your line is going downhill, and it crosses the y-axis at -1.

If you need any help graphing refer to Desmos Graphing Calcuator (it's free and online.)

If you need me to explain anything, feel free to ask me in the comments. I know mathematics can be worrisome, but I am here to help!

Thanks, buddy
