Question

Please help. What is the equation of the line that has a slope of 3 and goes through the point (-3,-5)?

Answer 1

y = 3x + 4

Explanation:

We can use the equation y = mx + b to find the equation:

Plug in the slope and the point into the equation, and we can find b:

-5 = 3(-3) + b

-5 = -9 + b

4 = b

Now, we can plug in the slope and y-intercept into the equation:

y = 3x + 4 will be our equation
