parallel lines have the same slope
The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"
They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3
You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6
So far we have y=-5/6x + b
We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"
Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get
-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b
-1 = -5 +b
4 = b
b = 4
We found b, or the y-intercept
Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found
y = -5/6x + 4

Answer:
y = 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
The point (0, 0) tells you the line goes through the origin, so represents a proportional relationship. The slope is simply the ratio of y to x, or 5/1 = 5.
The equation of the line is ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b
y = 5x . . . . . . . . . . line with slope 5 and y-intercept of 0 (the origin)
Answer:
0.9375
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it helpssss sorry if it doesntttt :)
.93 would have to be the answer because you do the regular calculations, then you divide to find y.
