Answer 1

y=5x+3

Explanation:

in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Should the equation pass through (0,3) then the y-intercept is 3, as the y-intercept is where the equation touches the y-axis (when x = 0), and the slope, 5, was already given to us within the problem itself.
