Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
m = the slope
b = y-intercept.
In this problem,
m = 3/5
b = ?
So far y = 3/5x + b
Let's plug the point (-3, -1) into our slope equation.
-1 = 3/5(-3) + b
Simplify the right side.
-1 = -9/5 + b
Add 9/5 to both sides.
4/5 = b
The equation is: y = 3/5x + 4/5
Answer choice A is correct.
