Question 71218: Im unclear how to figure this out. Can you break down each step for me. (-6,5) and has a slope of 7/3
I just want to make sure im doing this correct. The question asks. Write an equation, in slope-intercept form when possible

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any set of (x,y) poits along with a slope value can generate a line equation of
Y=mX+b. JUST SUBSTITUTE THE X,Y VALUES ALONG WITH THE SLOPE(m) AND SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT (b).
5=7/3*-6+b
5=-42/3+b
b=5+42/3
b=5+14
b=19
THUS THIS LINE EQUATION IS
Y=7/3X+19
