You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since the slope is 5, m will be 5%2F1
You have a point, so plug that into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx%2Bb

-2=5%283%29%2Bb
-2=15%2Bb
-17=b
We did that to find the y-intercept.
The equation for your line is y=5x-17
Now just graph it.

Hope this helps!
