Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.
Let x = 0.555..... → (1)
Multiply both sides by 10, then
10x = 5.555..... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal
(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is
9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x =
You'll be using point slope form to solve this.
As the name suggests, you'll need the slope as well as a point. To find the slope use the slope formula:
Plug in the points.
The slope of this line is 5.
Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1), so plug in the slope and a point into this equation. I'll use (0,8).
y-(8) = 5(x-(0))
1. Write this out without parentheses.
y-8 = 5(x)
2. Multiply 5 and x.
y-8 = 5x
3. Add 8 to both sides.
y = 5x+8

Answer is:
y = 5x+8
a cheap way to go about it is, let's do away with the denominators, and we'll do so by simply multiplying both sides by the the LCD of all fractions, in this case, that'd be "ab", so we multiply both sides by "ab".
