Write the equation that passes through the given point and has the slope indicated: (1, -3); with slope (-3/5)

y = -3/5x - 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation I'm going to give is going to be in slope-intercept form. If you need it in point-slope, I can do so in an edit or the comments.

Slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.

So let's plug in our given slope:

y = -3/5x + b

Using this, we now plug in our x- and y-coordinates from the given point to solve for b.

-3 = -3/5(1) + b

-3 = -3/5 + b

Add 3/5 to both sides to isolate variable b.

-3 + 3/5 = b

-15/5 + 3/5 = b

-12/5 = b

Plug this new info back into the original equation and your answer is

y = -3/5x - 12/5
