Okay! When you are ready, let me know what you need help with. Just comment this answer!
The line thru (-3,0) and (-6,5) has this slope:
5-0 5
m = ----------- = ------- = - 5/3
-6-(-3) -3
The y-intercept of the desired line is simply (0,0), and so b = 0 and the equation of this line is
y = (-5/3)x
Here are the step for solving this:
1. 3y + 5 > 23
-5 -5
3y/3 > 18/3
y > 6
In words what you are doing is getting y by itself on one side. Subtract the 5 to undo the adding of 5 first. Then, divide both sides by 3.
The answer: The absolute value
