Question 553573: What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 2/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.
y = 2/5x + 1/5
y = 2/5x - 1/5
y = -2/5x - 1/5

You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 2/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.
---------------
Form:
y = mx + b
Substitute for x,y,m and solve for "b":
-1 = (2/5)(-3) + b
---
-1 = -6/5 + b
-5/5 = -6/5 + b
b = 1/5
==================
Equation:
y = (2/5)x + 1/5
==================
Cheers,

==================
y = 2/5x + 1/5
y = 2/5x - 1/5
y = -2/5x - 1/5
