Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 3/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.
y = 3/5x + 4/5
y = 3/5x - 4/5
y = -3/5x - 4/5

Answer 1

y=3/5x+4/5

Answer 2

It should be A.
It has a slope of 3/5, so the third one is right out. Solving for b in the equation y = ax + b:
-1 = (3/5)(-3) + b
-1 + 9/5 = b
So b = 4/5

Answer 3

And the equation becomes y = (3/5)x + 4/5
