Question

How do you write an equation in slope intercept form given that the line contains the point (-3,0) and is parallel to the line defined by -5x=6y?

Answer 1

The line can be written as:
`y=-5/6x` which has slope `m=-5/6`.
The equation can be found using the relationship:
`y-y_0=m(x-x_0)`
`y-0=-5/6(x+3)`
`color(red)(y=-5/6x-5/2)`
