Question

find the slope intercept form of the line whose slope is 3 and that passes throught the point (-5,8)

Answer 1

SO you would make a graph?

Answer 2

The slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is your gradient and b is the y intercept.

So sub in your slope and point into this equation.
This will allow you to find the value of b, your y-intercept.
Then resub this b into y = mx +b.

Answer 3

The equation has the general form
y=mx +b

b is calculated by this equation:
b = y -mx
Use the point (x= -5, y =8) and the slope "m" equals 3

That should help

Answer 4

yes that is right! :)
