Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

That is not correct Mellie    

(-5,-6), m=-3

y=mx+b

y=-3x+b

sub in (-5,-6) ti find b

-6=-3*-5+b

-6=-15+b

9=b

y=-3x+9

Wait, what grade are you in?

m=change in y/change in x. 

-6-y/-5-x=-3 

we want to get it into y=mx+b form.

I multiplied each side by (-5-x) 

I got -6-y=15+3x

Then, add 6 to both sides. 

-y=21+3x

Your equation would be y=-21-3x because you want to take away the negative sign from y

I didn't post that

And I am 12

THANK U SOOOO MUCH!!! and i know u didnt post that

Someone has to delete that!! I don't have the power to do that
