Answer:
Graph in picture. I hope it helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b is slope-intercept form of a line with slope,m, and y-intercept ,b.
y=-3x-2 is in the form y=mx+b where m=-3 and b=-2.
So the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is -2.
Since the slope is negative, we are looking for a line that is decreasing (left to right).
Since the y-intercept is negative, we are looking for a graph that intersects the y-axis below the x-axis.
Let's look for more details.
So you are looking for a graph that goes through -2 on the y-axis.
From there you are looking for another point on the line that is 3 units down and 1 unit right since the slope is -3 or -3/1.
(Slope is rise/run).
I will draw a graph of what we are looking for.

The "divisor" in synthetic division is most conveniently the value of the zero of the binomial term. Here, that is x=5. You also need to make sure you include all of the coefficients in the "dividend", putting zero where terms are missing.
