Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b <-- slope intercept form
Looking at the line from point (0,-5) to (3,0)
The slope (mx), rise over run
Rises 5 (in the positive direction, up) and runs 3 (in the positive direction, right)
the slope being 5/3
Then the b being your y-intercept
-5 will be your b because the line crosses the y axis at (0,-5) but the y-intercept is -5
Overall: y = x + (-5)
or
y = 5/3 x - 5
