Answer:

option c

Explanation:

Linear equation in slope intercept form: y = mx +b

m is slope and b is y-intercept.

m = 5/6


y=(5)/(6)x+b\\

The point P(-6 ,-2) passes through the line. So, plugin s and y values in the above equation.


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

b = 3

Equation of the line:


y=(5)/(6)x+3
