Start by distributing -5x into x then into -3y. So -5x times x equals -5x^2( -5x squared), then -5 times -3y, equals 15xy so your answer is -5x^2 + 15xy.
A linear equation is RISE over RUN (y/x) so the starting point would be -6 and from there its a straight line across
It goes as 1.875. Hope this helped you :)))
