\n" ); document.write( "We'll see the Slope of line -5x-4y=6 via Slope-Intercept Form, \"y=mx%2Bb\":
\n" ); document.write( "Arranging the variables,
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=-5x-6\", divide by 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-5x-6%29%2F4\"===> \"y=%28-5%2F4%29x-%286%2F4%29\" ===>\"y=highlight%28%28-5%2F4%29%29x-3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "It's Slope=m1= -5/4 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "*Remember, for perpendicular lines, \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2Fm%5B1%5D=%28-1%29%2F%28-5%2F4%29=%28-1%29%28-4%2F5%29=red%284%2F5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The, line passing thru point (-6,6) has slope=m2=4/5, and via Slope-Intercept Form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6=%284%2F5%29%28-6%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6=-24%2F5%2Bb\" ----> \"b=6%2B24%2F5=%2830%2B24%29%2F5=54%2F5\" Y-Intercept
\n" ); document.write( "The Line Eqn follows===> y=(4/5)x+(54/5), Or in Standard From, (-4/5)x+y=54/5. Remove fraction by multiplying the eqn by \"5\":
