the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
do the equations
y+=+highlight_green%285%2F6%29x+%2B+highlight%282%29 and
y+=+highlight_green%2815%2F18%29x+%2B+highlight%282%29
represent two different lines? NO,
(15/18) = 5/6, same slopes and same y-intercepts...Same Line
