Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1) and has a slope of 3/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.

a) y= 3/5 x + 4/5 b) y= 3/5 x- 4/5 c) y= -3/5 x - 4/5​

Answer 1

y = 3/5x + 4/5 (1st Option)

Explanation:

Step 1: Write known variables

m = 3/5

y = 3/5x + b

Step 2: Find b

-1 = 3/5(-3) + b

-1 = -9/5 + b

b = 4/5

Step 3: Rewrite equation

y = 3/5x + 4/5
