Answer:

y=(-5/3)x-5

Explanation:

so the slope intersect form is y=mx+b

3y+5x=-15

subtract 5x from both sides

3y= -5x-15

divide both sides by 3

y= (-5/3)x - 5

Answer:

The answer would be y=-5/3x-5!

Explanation:

You want to make the equation to y=mx+b, so you have to make y by its self. Subtract 5x from both sides and you'll get 3y=-5x-15. Now divide 3 by both sides and you'll get y=-5/3x-5 which would be the answer!
