Question 1018998: I'm having a difficult time figuring these problems out. I do well until the last step. Any help would be appreciated!!
Find an equation of the line having the given the slope and containing given point:
m=4/5, (9,-6)
m=7/8; (1,-5)
Thank you in advance for any help!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Point slope form.
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29
y-%28-6%29=%284%2F5%29%28x-9%29
y%2B6=%284%2F5%29%28x-9%29
5y%2B30=4x-36
-4x%2B5y=-66
4x-5y=66
Do the second problem the same way.
