How do you write an equation of a line with slope -5/6 and y-intercept 5?

1 Answer

The line is represented by the equation
y = -5/6x +5

Explanation:

The general form of the equation for a line is
y = mx + c (equation 1)

where m is the slope or gradient of the line and c is a constant
and represents the y-intercept

therefore for this equation
y = mx + 5 (equation 2)

The slope of line is -5/6 so substituting in these values
6 = x*-5/6 + 5 (equation 3)

or y = -5/6x +5

graph{-5/6x +5 [-6.75, 13.25, -2.72, 7.28]}
