Answer:

Explanation:

step 1: identify the x1, y1 and slope

x1 = -3

y1 = 5

m(slope) = -2/5

Step 2: plug the points that you identified into the point slope form equation.

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x-x1) ---> this is one of the general equation that will help you find the equation for a function when given a point and slope.

y - 5 = -2/5(x -(-3))

y - 5 = -2/5(x + 3)

y - 5 = (-2/5)x -6/5

y = (-2/5)x + 19/5

Step 3:

Plug in at least 2 points and graph them. You should get a graph similar to the one in the screenshot.

I hope this helps!
