X INTERCEPT (-3,0)
Y INTERCEPT (0,5)
SLOPE (m)=(0-5)/(-3-0)
m=-5/-3
m=5/3
Y=mX+b THE LINE EQUATION.
0=5/3*-3+b
b=5/3*3
b=5
Y=5X/3+5 ANSWER.


Answer by Fombitz(32388)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To get the equation of a line, you need two points.
You have two points: (-3,0) and (0,5)
You can use the point-intercept form.

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The formula for the slope is:



The equation of the line is


Verify the solution with the given points.
