Question

The line has slope 5/3 and passes through the point (6,5),

Write an equation for each line satisfying the given conditions?

Answer 1

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

We are given the slope of 5/3.

We can solve the y-intercept by using the given slope and coordinate:

y = 5/3x + b

5 = 5/3(6) + b

5 = 10 + b

5 - 10 = 10 - 10 + b

-5 = b

Put this into the final equation:

y = 5/3x - 5

Best of Luck!
