1. **State the problem:** We need to find the equation of a line with slope $-\frac{3}{5}$ that passes through the point $(-3,3)$. The equation should be in slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$.
2. **Recall the slope-intercept form:** The general form is $$y=mx+b$$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Use the point-slope form to find $b$:** Substitute the slope $m=-\frac{3}{5}$ and the point $(-3,3)$ into the equation:
$$3 = -\frac{3}{5} \times (-3) + b$$
4. **Simplify the multiplication:**
$$3 = \frac{9}{5} + b$$
5. **Solve for $b$:**
$$b = 3 - \frac{9}{5} = \frac{15}{5} - \frac{9}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$$
6. **Write the final equation:**
$$y = -\frac{3}{5}x + \frac{6}{5}$$
This is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with slope $-\frac{3}{5}$ passing through $(-3,3)$.
