If you expand the left hand sign, the equation becomes

$3x-6 = 3x-2$

This means that the term $3x$ cancels out, since it appears in both sides. So, we're left with

$-6=-2$

which is clearly false, i.e. it leads to an impossible equation, which thus have no solutions.

Which line has a slope of 5/8 and goes through the point (8, 2)

lapo4ka [179]

The slope $m$ and a point $(x_{0},\;y_{0})$ that the line goes through, give us a equation for the line:

$y-y_{0}=m\cdot (x-x_{0})\\\\ y-2=\dfrac{5}{8}\cdot (x-8)\\\\\\ y-2=\dfrac{5}{8}\,x-\dfrac{5}{8}\cdot 8\\\\\\ y-2=\dfrac{5}{8}\,x-5\\\\\\ y=\dfrac{5}{8}\,x-5+2\\\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{c} y=\dfrac{5}{8}\,x-3 \end{array}}$
