Question 173829
The general equation for a line is y=mx+c

m= slope

Replace m with -2/3  y=-2/3x +c


Plug in the value for the point

5=-2/3(-5) +c

We are trying to find the y intercept c



5=10/3+c

Subract 10/3 to both sides

15/3 -10/3= c

5/3= c

Let's double check that this is the correct linear equation


5=10/3 +5/3

Therefore the eqation is y=-2/3x+5/3
