1. **State the problem:** We need to find the equation of a line with slope $m=3$ that passes through the point $(-2,-15)$ in slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$.
2. **Recall the slope-intercept form:** The equation of a line is given by $$y=mx+b$$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Use the point to find $b$:** Substitute $m=3$, $x=-2$, and $y=-15$ into the equation:
$$-15=3(-2)+b$$
4. **Simplify and solve for $b$:**
$$-15 = -6 + b$$
Add 6 to both sides:
$$-15 + 6 = b$$
$$b = -9$$
5. **Write the final equation:**
$$y=3x - 9$$
This is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
