Question

Find the equation of the line (in slope intercept form) if the slope of the line is (-5/6) and the point (12,9) is a point on the line. Show all work.

Answer 1

We can input our m, x, and y values. All we have to do now is isolate b.

9 = -5/6(12) + b
9 = -10 + b
Add 10 to both sides.
19 = b

y = -5/6x + 19
