slope intercept form is
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
the equation is given in slope intercept form so that the
slope = 3
y-intercept = -5
to graph this you will first place a point on (-5,0) since it's the y intercept.
then since the slope is rise/run and we have 3 (or 3/1) you will start at (-5,0), and from there go up 3 units and to the right one unit. where you end up will be your second point.
hope this helps
