SOLUTION: Write the equation of the line passing through (-3,-5) and (3,0). I don't know if I did this right.
m = 0-(-5)= 5
3-(-3) 6
y = 5/6x + 2/5

equation of the line passing through (-3,-5) and (3,0).
---------
slope = [0--5]/[3--3] = 5/6
--------
Equation form: y=mx+b
Substitute to solve for "b".
0=(5/6)3+b
0=(5/2)+b
b = -(5/2)
EQUATION:
y=(5/6)x-(5/2)
