==================================================
Explanation:
Point-slope form is
where m is the slope and is the point the line goes through.
We're given the slope of m = 5/6, and we want the line going through (-8,0) which is the x-intercept -8. The x-intercept always occurs when y = 0.
So,
We can replace the y-0 with y; however, I'm going to keep that 0 so that the equation better matches the point-slope form.
