Write an equation of the line that has each pair of intercepts.
x-intercept: -3, y-intercept: 5
To find the equation of a line you need a point and a slope. You don't have a slope, so find it using the slope formula:
(x1,y1)=(-3,0) and (x2,y2)=(0,5)


The slope intercept form of a line is , where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
m=5/3 and b=5

Happy Calculating!!!!
