linear equation with a slope of 3/5 and a y-intercept of -4

Question

 please help with this math problem.

 

Answer 1

This equation is of straight line of the form of y=mx+b where m=slope and b is the y intercept. Therefore b=-4, Substitute:

 

y=(3/5)x-4. It can also be written in general  form as 5y=3x-20 as a result of multiplying the whole equation by 5, The equation can be

 written as: -3x+5y+20=0
