<PRE><B>Question 783011</B>
write an equation in point-slope form for the line with the given slope that contains the given point

Slope= 1/5; (2,-6)
------------
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-intercept.
----
-6 = (1/5)*2 + b
-30/5 = 2/5 + b
b = -32/5
-----
y = (2/5)x - 32/5</PRE>
