Answer 1

Hi Billy,

 

Please be specific when you post a question. Tutors don't need to guess what you are asking.

 

I am assuming that you are asking the equation of a line that passes through (-1, -3) and has a slope of 5. If so, let the equation of the line be

y = mx + b where m is the slope. Then, we can write

-3 = 5*(-1) + b

-3 = -5 + b

b = 2

Then, the equation of the line is

y = 5x + 2
