Question 55142: write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that stisfies each set of conditions.
slope -13/5,passes through (5,-7)

Answer by tutorcecilia(2152)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope -13/5,passes through (5,-7)
y=mx+b [Slop-intecept equation of a line]
-7=(-13/5)(5)+b [Solve for b]
-7=-13+b
-7+13=b
6=b
.
y=mx+b [plug-in the values of the slope and the y-intercept]
y= -13/5x+6
.
