Question

Write the equation of the line passing through the point ​(​6,-9​) with slope -5/6.

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is y = -5/6 x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -5/6 x+b

Substitute in the point

-9 = -5/6(6) +b

-9 = -5+b

Add  5 to each side

-4 = b

The equation is y = -5/6 x-4
