m= 5/6, (8,-9) find the equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point

3 answers

y = (5/6)x + b
-9 = (5/6)*8 + b
b = -54/6 - 40/6 = -94/6 = -15 2/3

y = 5x/6 - 15 2/3
the answer is
y = 5/6x - 9
Try fitting Lmay's answer to the data point (8, -9)

[(5/6)*8] -9 is not -9
