The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -3x + 5.
To graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept, start by plotting the y-intercept, which is the point (0, 5). Then use the slope to find another point on the line. Since the slope is -3, this means as x increases by 1, y decreases by 3. So you can plot another point by moving down 3 units for every 1 unit to the right. Connect the two points with a straight line to graph the equation of the line.
A line has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 5. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form and explain how you would use the slope and y-intercept to graph the equation.
