Given both intercepts, you have two points,



if the y-intercept = -3, then you know that one point on the line is (0,-3)





if the x-intercept =  5, then you konw that the other point is (5,0)





Now all you need is the point slope form of the line:











All you have to do is decide which point will be 1 and which will be 2 (it

doesn't matter which is which as long as you are consistent), make

the substitutions, and do the arithmetic.  To put your result into

slope-intercept form, solve the resulting equation for y.



I'll let you do the substitutions and the arithmetic.
