Hi,        
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b 
 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
 y =  -3/5 x + 1  is in this format  with m = -(3/5) P(0,1) the y-intercept
 m = -(3/5) tells us y decreases by 3 as x increases 5 or visa versa
Pt(0,1) the y-intercept tells us following are on the line with m = -(5/2):
Pt (5,-2)or as y decreases by 3, x inreases by 5
Pt (-5, 4) as y increases by 3, x decreases by 5
