Answer:

y= -3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation y=mx+b, we know m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. All that is needed to finish the equation is finding what b is equal to. Because we know that the line is going to pass through the point (5, -1), plug in the x and y values and the value of m to the equation y= mx+b.

-1= -3(5) +b

b=14

now that we have found the value of b, plug in the value of m and b to have the equation

y= -3x + 14
