Question 526623: Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point.
m=8/9,(5,-5).. I can solve this problem up to the last step where i need help! Here is how I am solving it.
Substitute values for m,x1,, and y1 into the point slope equation.
y-(-5)=(8/9)(x-5)
=y-(-5)=8/9x - 40/9..
(here is where i get stuck)
*finaly subtract 5 from both sides*
y=8/9x-85/9
how do I get 85/9 as an answe when i subtract 5 from both sides i get 35/9 Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
