Answer:

y=5/3 x +12

Explanation:

The equation of a line is given by the following equation:

y=mx+b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is 'y' axis-intercept point.

We have the slope by statement (m=5/3)., we just need to find 'b'.

To do that, we can evaluate the given point (-6,2) in the equation y=mx+b.

2=5/3 * (-6) +b

2=-10+b

We need to isolate 'b' on its side of equality sign, so, we can add +10 to both sides of equality sign, and get rid of -10.

2+10=-10+10+b

b=12

Now we have our desire equation.

y=5/3 x +12, this equation is the slope - intercept form of the line
