You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the point slope form equation and standard form equation of a line with x1 and y1 (1, -3) m=-5/8
-----
Form: y = mx + b
Substitute for x,y,m and solve for "b":
-3 = (-5/8)(1) + b
---------------------
(-24/8) = (-5/8) + b
------
b = -19/8
========
Equation:
y = (-5/8)x - (19/8)
