Answer by elima4(15) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We start with the slope-intercept formula;
y=mx + b
m= slope = 5
y=5x + b
now we use the point given in the equation for our x and y to solve for b;
-3 = 5(-1) + b
-3 = -5 + b
2 = b;
Now we rewrite the equation;
y = 5x + 2
