Question 100752: Write the equation of the line passing through each of the given points with the indicated slope. Give your results in slope-intercept form, where possible.
Rewrite in standard form.
(0,5) m = -3/5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Rewrite in standard form.
(0,5) m = -3/5
-----------------
You are given the y-intercept as "5"
You are given the slope as (-3/5)
So, the equation is y = (-3/5)x + 5
----------
To change to standard form, multiply thru by 5 to get:
5y = -3x + 25
Then 3x+5y=25 is the standard form of the line.
