Question 595636: Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to given line. (5,-3); 6x-5y=7 The equation of the line is Y = ______.
My soulution is Y = 6/5x -33/5 The answer is Y = 6/5x -9 What makes my solution different from the answer..I have worked this several times. Any assistance is highly appreciated.

not sure how you got -33/5
once you have the correct slope, you plug in the given point to find the y-intercept
y = (6/5)x + ? ___ (-3) = (6/5)(5) + ? ___ -9 = ?
looks like maybe you switched the x and y terms of the given point?
