You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope-intercept form of
a linear equation is:
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+
+m+ = slope
+b+ = y-intercept
--------------------------
You are given:
+m+=+3+
So far you have:
+y+=+3x+%2B+b+
--------------------------
Plug in the given point:
( -5, 4 )
+4+=+3%2A%28-5%29+%2B+b+
+4+=+-15+%2B+b+
+b+=+19+
--------------------------
The equation is:
+y+=+3x+%2B+19+
---------------------------
check:
( -5,4 )
+4+=+3%2A%28-5%29+%2B+19+
+4+=+-15+%2B+19+
+4+=+4+
OK
