Question

amistre64 · Answer

y = 5/6 x -(5(6)/6)+1

y = 5/6 x -4

dumbcow · Answer

(y-b) = m(x-a)
m=5/6
(a,b) = (6,1)
substitute into general formula and get y by itself

amistre64 · Answer

id rather use a formula that already has the algebra worked out :)

anonymous · Answer

both are right!

amistre64 · Answer

amistre64 · Answer

m(x-a) = mx -ma

y-b = mx -ma  <=>  y = mx -ma +b
