Answer: y = -6/5 x - 3

Solution :

The equation of line is  

y = mx + b  

y = y coordinate  

m = slope

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept

so to write the equation of line we need to find the y-intercept (b)

substitute the slope (-6/5) and coordinates given (-5,3) ,

y = mx + b

3 = (-6/5) (-5) + b

3 = 6 + b

3 - 6 = b

-3 = b

So the equation would be,

y = mx + b

y = -6/5 x - 3





Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

Equation of line with slope m

and passing through (x1,y1)  is,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

here, slope= -6/5 and the point is  (-5,3)

So, the equation is,

[tex]y-3=-\frac{6}{5} (x-(-5))\\or, y-3=-\frac{6}{5} (x+5)\\[/tex]

Multiplying by  5

[tex]5(y-3)=-6(x+5)\\or, 5y-15=-6x-30\\or, 5y=-6x-30+15\\or, 5y=-6x-15\\[/tex]

Dividing by  5

[tex]y=-\frac{6}{5} x-3[/tex]
