Question 178646: This question concerns using the slope intercept form.
The problem is this,
write an equation of the line that has the given slope and passes through the given point.
m= -5, (-3,6)
how do i do this problem and please explain how to do it in slope intercept form

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

just substitute the values you have and find the missing value (b)

6=-5(-3)+b __ 6=15+b __ -9=b

so the equation is y=-5x-9
