Answer 1

y=-3x-2

Explanation:

There is enough information to make a point-slope form equation that which we can convert into slope-intercept form.

Point-slope form is:
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

We are given the slope of -3 and the point of (1,-5).

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow y+5=-3(x-1)`

Convert into Slope-Intercept Form:

`y+5=-3(x-1)\\y+5-5=-3(x-1)-5\\\boxed{y=-3x-2}`
