What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5 3 and has a slope of 3,5)

The equation of a line is typically written as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If you a point that a line passes through, and its slope, this page will show you how to find the equation of the line.

Hi Tah

You have point (3,5) you have slope m = 5/3 if your question is to give the equation of the line that passes through (3,5) with slope m = 5/3 I think I can help if that is your question

Using the Slope Intercept Form

y = mx + b

With the coordinates of the point and the slope you gave

5 = 5/3(3) + b

5 = 5 + b

Subtract 5 from both sides

0 = b

So your line is

y = 5/3x

You can graph your line at Desmos.com to confirm that it passes through the point and see that it does.

If that is not your question, please clarify your question above.

I hope your find this information useful.

Hi, Tah!

So I would begin by using the point slope formula when given a point and slope of a line.

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m=slope and point (x1,y1)

m=5/3 point:( 3,5)

y-5 = 5/3(x-3) Replaced y1 with 5 and x1 with 3 and

m with 5/3
