Evaluate the expression by following steps:
- step0: Evaluate:
  $$-3.1p-5.4$$
- step1: Substitute:
  $$-3.1\left(-1\right)-5.4$$
- step2: Multiply the numbers:
  $$3.1-5.4$$
- step3: Subtract the numbers:
  $$-2.3$$
To evaluate the expression $$-3.1 p - 5.4$$ for $$p = -1$$, we substitute $$-1$$ into the expression:

$$
-3.1(-1) - 5.4
$$

Now, let's calculate it step by step:

1. Calculate $$-3.1 \times -1$$:
   $$
   -3.1 \times -1 = 3.1
   $$

2. Now substitute this back into the expression:
   $$
   3.1 - 5.4
   $$

3. Perform the subtraction:
   $$
   3.1 - 5.4 = -2.3
   $$

Thus, the final answer is:
$$
\boxed{-2.3}
$$
The answer is $$-2.3$$.
