Question 1001310
 What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1) and has a slope of 3/5? 
Write the answer in slope intercept form.
;
The slope intercept form: y = mx + b
In this problem: m = 3/5; x = -3; y = -1
Replace these values and find b
{{{3/5}}}(-3) + b = -1
{{{-9/5}}} + b = -1
b = -1 + {{{9/5}}}
b = {{{-5/5}}} + {{{9/5}}}
b = {{{4/5}}}
:
The equation
y = {{{3/5}}}x + {{{4/5}}}
