You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In general, the slope intercept form assumes the formula: y=+mx+%2Bb; so, your equation is already in the slope intercept form
y=-3x-6.....the slope is m=-3 and y-intercept=-6
you are given a point (x, y)=(-1, 5) and we can check if this point lies on given line y=-3x-6

y=-3x-6...plug in coordinates of given point x=-1 and y=5

5=-3%28-1%29-6
5=3-6
5=-3...it's not true; so, this point does not lie on a line
