For the equation
y + 1 = -3 (x - 5),
the line contains the point (5, -1) and has a slope of?

• -1

• 1

• -3

• 5

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that has m = 5 through (-1, -3)

• y = 5x + 2

• y = -5x - 5

• y = -5x + 2

• y = 2x - 5

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that has m = 5/4 through (-4, -3)

• y = 5/4x + 2

• y = -5/4x + 2

• y = 2x - 5/4

• y = 3/4x + 2

write down the equation of the line if gradient = 2 y-intercept = -5
