Answer 1

The point-slope form of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Using the given point (-15, -3) and slope 3/7, we can plug in these values into the point-slope form equation:

y - (-3) = (3/7)(x - (-15))

Simplifying:

y + 3 = (3/7)(x + 15)

Hence, the equation of the line is y + 3 = (3/7)(x + 15).
