write equation in point slope form and ax + (or) - by= + (or) - c
With slope 3/5 pasing through (3,5)
----------------
Form: y = mx + b
You have m = 3/5 and y=5 when x = 3 ; solve for "b":
5 = (3/5)*3 + b
5 = (9/5) + b
b = 16/5
------------------
EQUATION:
slope-intercept form:
y = (3/5)x + (16/5)
-----------
standard form:
5y = 3x + 16
3x - 5y = -16
