You already given the formula for an equation of a line so you just need to solve and plug in the x and y value

anonymous · Answer

y - y1 = m(x - x1), substitute y1 and x1 and solve

anonymous · Answer

did that make sense?

anonymous · Answer

so you put 3 and 5 where it has the x and y variables?

anonymous · Answer

You would plug in -3 for x and 5 for y

anonymous · Answer

when you are all done, you should have an equation

anonymous · Answer

Don't forget to distribute the 1/4 through to the ()

anonymous · Answer

would it be A?
