What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1) and has a slope of 2/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.
============
Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where m = slope and (x1,y1) is the point
y+1 = (2/5)*(x+3)
y = (2/5)x + 6/5-1
y = (2/5)x + 1/5
========================
slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
m = slope = 2/5
b = y-intercept = 1/5 or (0,1/5)

slope-intercept form: where is a slope and is y-intercept
the equation of the line that passes through (, ) and has a slope of will be:
........plug in given data and find





now we have a slope of and y-intercept and your
equation is:
