<PRE><B>Question 724403</B>
find the equation of the line that passes through (5/8, 2/3) and has a slope 1/7
----
Form: y = mx + b
Substitute for y,x, and m ; solve for &quot;b&quot;.
---------------------
(2/3) = (1/7)(5/8) + b
-----
(2/3) = (5/56) + b
------
b = (2/3)-(5/56)
---
b = (2*56-15)/168
---
b = 97/168
----
Equation:
y = (1/7)x + (97/168)
==========================
