Hi there!

The general formula of A line in slope-intercept form is the following:
y = mx + n

In this formula m represents the slope of the line. Therefore, we can conclude that m = 2/5.
y =  \frac{2}{5} x + n

We also know that the line passes through the point (-3, -1) and we can therefore substitute this coordinate into the formula of the line.
x = -3 and y = -1

- 1 =  \frac{2}{5}  \times  - 3 + n

Multiply first.
- 1 =  -  1\frac{1}{5}  + n

And finally add 1 1/5 to both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{5}  = n

We can now switch sides.
n =  \frac{1}{5}

Now we've found our value of n, which we can substitute into the formula of our line. Hence, in slope-intercept form, we find the following:
y =  \frac{2}{5}  x  +  \frac{1}{5}

One can't purchase an item that costs more than the balance in a debit card. The debit card is equivalent to cash on hand. You can only spend what you have. 

The credit card is equivalent to a loan. You don't have the money as of the moment but when you use the credit card, you owe the issuing bank the amount you've put on credit. The bank will pay the merchant and you will pay the bank. Interest is an additional expense when you pay your bill beyond the due date. The interest is applied on the amount outstanding upon the payment due date. </span>
