Answer:
y = -3/5x - 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation I'm going to give is going to be in slope-intercept form. If you need it in point-slope, I can do so in an edit or the comments.
Slope-intercept form is: <em>y = mx + b</em> where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
So let's plug in our given slope:
y = -3/5x + b
Using this, we now plug in our x- and y-coordinates from the given point to solve for b.
-3 = -3/5(1) + b
-3 = -3/5 + b
Add 3/5 to both sides to isolate variable b.
-3 + 3/5 = b
-15/5 + 3/5 = b
-12/5 = b
Plug this new info back into the original equation and your answer is
y = -3/5x - 12/5
