point slope form:
y + 3= -1/5 x (x+0)
Step-by-step explanation:
-use the point slope form equation: y – y1 = m (x – x1).
–using the given information we know that m = -1/5 and that the y intercept is (0,-3).
– y and x will be kept as a variable.
-plug in the y1 and x1 from the y intercept:
y + 3 = m(x + 0)
-once you’ve plugged in the y intercept then plug in the slope which gives you the answer:
y + 3= -1/5 x (x+0)
