Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for b, we must isolate the variable. We can start by subtracting 5 from both sides.
Simplify.
Add b to both sides.
Simplify.
Multiply everything by 3 to remove the fractions.
Simplify.
2b + 3b = 45
Simplify.
5b = 45
Divide 5 from both sides.
5b ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5
Simplify.
b = 9

Place a point at (0,-5) because that is the y-intercept (the -5 on the vertical line)
Since the slope is negative two which can be re-written as -2/1 (rise/run) you go down two and to the right once or up two and to the left once, it doesn't matter which. Another point can be placed at (1,-7) or (-3,-1), it still doesn't matter which.
Then you can draw a line connecting the two points.
I hope this helps :)
