Answer:

y = -3/5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is [ y = mx + b ] where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

We know the slope so we need to find the y-intercept.

y = -3/5x + b

-6 = -3/5(5) + b

-6 = -5 + b

-1 = b

y = -3/5x - 1

Best of Luck!

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{6}{5} x - 3 \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1) \\

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (5, -6) and slope - 3/5

The equation of the line is

y + 6 =  -  \frac{3}{5} (x - 5) \\ y + 6 =  -  \frac{3}{5} x + 3 \\ y =  -  \frac{6}{5} x + 3 - 6

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{6}{5} x - 3 \\

Hope this helps you

Eight less than 1/3 a number n is -13
Goryan [66]
1/3n - 8 = -13 <== ur equation
1/3n = -13 + 8
1/3n = - 5
n = -5 * 3
n = -15

check..
1/3(-15) - 8 = -13
-5 - 8 = -13
-13 = -13 (correct)

so the number (n) = -15

M×10+m×13=138<br><br>sorry theres another loll I'm so bad at these
Dimas [21]
So first of all you would add the two together
so it would be m23.

138÷23 would equal 6,

therefore m would equal six

to check it substitute m for 6 and you should get 138!

The measure of an angle is 6 less than 5 times its complement. what is the measure of the complement
TiliK225 [7]
Complimentary angles, when added, = 90 degrees
so if one angle is x, then its compliment is 90 - x

x = 5(90 - x) - 6
x = 450 - 5x - 6
x + 5x = 450 - 6
6x = 444
x = 444/6
x = 74

and its compliment is : 90 - x.....90 - 74 = 16 <==
