Question

What the equation of the line is for m=-3/7;(-5,6)

Answer 1

y = -
`(3)/(7)` x +
`(27)/(7)`

the equation of a line in ' slope- intercept form ' is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = -
`(3)/(7)`

partial equation is y = -
`(3)/(7)` x + c

To find c substitute ( - 5, 6 ) into the partial equation

6 =
`(15)/(7)` + c ⇒ c =
`(42)/(7)` -
`(15)/(7)` =
`(27)/(7)`

y = -
`(3)/(7)` +
`(27)/(7)` ( in slope - intercept form )

Answer 2

I think this is what it's asking for..I could be wrong though
