Question 187114: confused on what to do with fractions please help in detail write an equatuin of line through (1,-5) and parallel to y=5/6x+ put in slope intercept form thank you!
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The first thing to do is use the fact that:
to determine that the slope of the line for which you must derive an equation is equal to the slope of your given line, 
. (I put the b in there because you left something off of your given equation. It won't make any difference to the solution of this problem, but I just like to be neat).
Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, the slope number that you get by inspection of your given equation, and the coordinates of your given point to derive your equation.
 )
Where 
and 
and 
 = \frac{5}{6}(x - 1) )
Finally, all you need to do is rearrange this equation into
form and you are done.
