Question

Write a slope intercepet equation for a line passing throught point (5,-4) that is parrallel to the line 5x+6y=7.

 

6y=-5x+7
y=-5/6x+7/6

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-4)=-5/6(x-5)

y+4=-5/6x-25/6
y=-5/6x - 25/6 -4

I don't understand how y=-5/6x + 1/6

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

 

Required line passing through the point (5, -4) and
parallel to the line 5x 6y 7
Step 2
5x 6y 7
6y-5x7
