Write the slope-intercept form of the linear equation that is parallel to y = -3x + 5 and passes through (-4,5)

y = -3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

slope: -3

point: (-4,5)

slope formula: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

First, substitute in slope

y = -3x + b

Then, substitute the point (x,y) to solve for b

5 = -3(-4) + b

5 = 12 + b

5 - 12 = 12 - 12 + b       (Subtract 12 on both sides to balance equation)

-7 = b

Now, plug in whole equation without the point

y = -3x - 7

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent
