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}
