Question 509373: I have a set of equations and need to solve and graph. I have done the first equation but can't figure out the second. The first was 3x+ y = -2. I subtracted 3x from both sides to get y = -3x-2, meaning the slope is m= -3 and b=-2. The second equation is y = -5x. Do I divide both sides by -5 or what? I am lost.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Compare this with the slope-intercep form:
You can see that the slope and
You do not need to divide by -5 or anything.
Your equation is already in the slope-intercept form.
