Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"here "m=-3/2#
#rArry=-3/2x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#
#"to find b substitute "(1,-5)" into the partial equation"#
#-5=-3/2+brArrb=-10/2+3/2=-7/2#
#rArry=-3/2x-7/2larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"#
