Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where x and y can represent a point on the line by using the coordinates (x,y), m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.

To double check this equation, plug in the coordinates of the point (3,6) to make sure both sides of the equation equal to each other.

6 = -5(3) + 7

6 = -15 + 7

6 = -8

[tex]6 \neq -8[/tex]

Because the equation is invalid, the line does not pass through these points.
