HI,
*Note: In General,the equation for a line in the slop-intercept form is:
.
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y where the line crosses the y-axis)
.
Therefore with m =5
y = 5x + b (positive slope tells us the line slants to the right)
.
Substituting Pt(0,-3)
-3 = b
.
equation of the line is
y = 5x -3
Note: slope (5/1) tells us the as y increases by 5, x increases by 1
.
