The line through (5,-7) and decreasing at a rate of 3 units of y per 5 units of x.
Is this supposed to mean 5x-3y (the latter)?

Or actually, is it supposed to be -3/5?
Per... that is divide. And they must actually mean rise over run. Change in y over change in x.
m=-3/5 and they must want me to plug it into the slope intercept form with point (5,-7).
y=3/5x-4. I think I solved it.
sign of the slope?
"decreasing" means negative slope.
