Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point m=6/7,(5,-6)
Use the general form:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.
What you do is first use the slope and the point given to get the y-intercept c, which you can put in the initial equation to get the complete equation. :)
slope is defined to be the change in y over the change in x. so...
6/7 = (-6-y)/(5-x).
now you but it in a form your teacher will accept.
