Read that solution attentively.

It is your SAMPLE, and EVERYTHINS was explained there.

Then solve THIS problem by the same way, substituting new numbers.

It will be good exercise for you.

Prove that you do understand what was CAREFULLY explained to you once.

Slope-intercept form of a line: y=mx+b
We are given m=3/5. Now we need to find b
-4=(3/5)(2)+b
-4=(6/5)+b
b=-26/5
Therefore, y=(3/5)x-(26/5) (Answer)
