write an equation of slope intercept form of - 2/5 and y intercept -3. then graph the line

Answer 1

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = -(2/5)x - 3

To graph the line, start at the y-intercept of -3 on the y-axis and mark a point. Then, use the slope of -2/5 to find another point. The slope of -2/5 means that for every 5 units you move to the right on the x-axis, you move 2 units down on the y-axis.

So, from the y-intercept point (-3), move 5 units to the right and 2 units down to get to the next point. Connect the two points with a straight line.

The graph should look like this:

(-3,0)
