Answer:

y=-5x-15

Explanation:

starts off in point-slope form:

y+4=-5(x+3)

distribute the 5:

y+4=-5x-15

subtract 4 from each side:

y=-5x-20

^that answer is in slope intercept form.

Answer:

y = -5x-19

Explanation:

Use the point-slope formula to plug in the x1 and y1 and the slope -5 to get the equation y = -5x-19.

Formula: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m = slope

x1 = x-value

y1 = y-value
