Answer:

y=\frac{-3}{5}x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the point (-5, -3), and a slope of -3/5

We want to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately plug it into the equation

y=\frac{-3}{5}x+b

We need to find b, though

We can use (-5, -3) to help us, as the equation will pass through that line

Substitute the value of x as -5 and the value of y as -3 to solve for b

-3=\frac{-3}{5}*-5+b

Now, on the right, multiply -3/5 and 5 together

-3=3+b

Subtract 3 from both sides

-6=b

Substitute 6 as b in the equation

y=\frac{-3}{5}x-6

Hope this helps!
