Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx+b.
m is slope and b is y-intercept.
The form can be rewritten, b=y-mx.

b=5-%28-2%293
b=5%2B6
b=11
EQUATION FOR LINE: highlight%28y=-2x%2B11%29

y%2B2x=-2x%2B11%2B2x
highlight%282x%2By=11%29, Standard Form

---------------------
Form:: y = mx + b
Substitute for y,m, and x ; solve for "b"::
5 = -2*3 + b
b = 11
-----
Equation:: y = -2x + 11
--------------------------
Standard Form:: 2x + y = 11
--------------------------
x-intercept:: (11/2,0)
y-intercept:: (0,11)
--------
