Question

!!!!!!!(Quick help please)
Write equation in slope intercept form.
Passing through (-5,9) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is y+1=5/6(x-7).
(Since this is in point-slope form how do I make it into slope-intercept, do I just add the point (-5,9) to the y+1 (y+1-5) and (x-7-9)? )
