(Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)
Solution
Solution Steps
To write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, we use the formula \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept. Given the slope \( m = -3 \) and the y-intercept \( b = \frac{4}{5} \), we can directly substitute these values into the formula to get the equation of the line.
Step 1: Identify the Slope and Y-Intercept
The slope of the line is given as \( m = -3 \) and the y-intercept is given as \( b = \frac{4}{5} \).
Step 2: Write the Equation in Slope-Intercept Form
Using the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is expressed as \( y = mx + b \), we substitute the values of \( m \) and \( b \):
\[
y = -3x + \frac{4}{5}
\]
Final Answer
The equation of the line is \(\boxed{y = -3x + \frac{4}{5}}\).
