Question 100749: Write the equation of the line passing through each of the given points with the indicated slope. Give your results in slope-intercept form, where possible.
Rewrite in standard form.
(0,5)m=-3/5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The point is (0,5), so when x=0, y=5
The slope at ANY point on the line is m = 3/5
The slope intercept form is
y+=+mx+%2B+b
All you have to do is find b using data given
5+=+%283%2F5%29%2A0+%2B+b
5+=+b
So the general equation (for any x or y) is
y+=+%283%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+5
Does it go through (0,5)? Yes
Is the slope 3/5? Yes
