Answer

\(\boxed{The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 3x + 15}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The slope-intercept form of a line is given by \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

Step 2 :We know the slope \(m\) is 3, and we have a point \((-8,-9)\) that the line passes through.

Step 3 :We can substitute these values into the equation to solve for \(b\).

Step 4 :\(m = 3\)

Step 5 :\(b = 15\)

Step 6 :Now that we have the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Step 7 :\(\boxed{The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 3x + 15}\)
