Question 1011484: What is the equation of the following line written in slope-intercept form?
(-5,-1) [line goes down]

y = 3/2x - 13/3
y = 2/3x - 13/3
y = -2/3x - 13/3

( -5,-1 )
I guess the line is supposed to have
a negative slope, so it would be:
+y+=+-%282%2F3%29%2Ax+-+13%2F3+
+3y+=+-2x+-+13+
check:
+3%2A%28-1%29+=+-2%2A%28-5%29+-+13+
+-3+=+10+-+13+
+-3+=+-3+
OK
