Write eqn of line w/ slope m = 5/3, y-int b = -10

[rpdrake]

Write the equation of the line with slope m = 5/3 and y-intercept b = -10
not understanding this at all.
Thanks

Use y = mx + b.

Substitute the values for m and b.

Like if I had m = 3 and b = -3

I'd use y = mx + b

Then I'd substitute the numbers for m and b getting: y = 3x - 3.
