will fan and medal if someone can solve this for me...

Question

anonymous · Answer

i need to know how to do it....

anonymous · Answer

Write an equation of each line.

anonymous · Answer

Slope = 5/6; through (22,12). I have it for the most part but the fraction is really throwing me off......

anonymous · Answer

I can show you what I've done so far to give you an insight as to where I probably went wrong

hartnn · Answer

which step are you stuck ? 

y-12 = (5/6) (x-22)
multiply 6 on both sides...

u done something similar ?

mathmale · Answer

hartnn is suggesting that you eliminate the fraction 5/6 by multiplying each side of the equation y-12=(5/6)(x-22) by 6.  Would you do this, please?

anonymous · Answer

y =mx +c      where m is slope

anonymous · Answer

i'll just show you what i have...

anonymous · Answer

formula is y-y1=m (x-x1)

mathmale · Answer

If you do this correctly, you'll end up with 6y and a constant on the left side of this equation.  Move the constant to the right side.  Combine terms on the right side.  Then divide all of the terms on the right side by 6.  Again:  please try this and share your work by typing it in here.

anonymous · Answer

y-12=5/6(x-22)      5/6 x 22/1 =110/6=55/3

anonymous · Answer

y-12=5/6x-55/3
  +12             +12

hartnn · Answer

so far, its correct

anonymous · Answer

okay one sec

anonymous · Answer

-55/3+12/1 = -55/3 +36/3 = -19/3

anonymous · Answer

so i said y=-19/3...? i feel like that's not right

hartnn · Answer

just don't forget the brackets
y-12=(5/6)x-55/3

hartnn · Answer

where did your 'x' term go ?

anonymous · Answer

no idea....

anonymous · Answer

i just went off to the side to multiply or add the fractions or whatever and i dunno

anonymous · Answer

isn't every answer supposed to be y= something? so i thought i was done

anonymous · Answer

i'm ready to give up lol >.<

hartnn · Answer

let me give you that step,
y -19/3 = (5/6) x

now also you can multiply '6' on both sides...
it would have been better if you did this on very first step
it would eliminate the fraction part

anonymous · Answer

y MINUS -19/3 = (5/6)x?

anonymous · Answer

or just y -19/3

hartnn · Answer

y-12=5/6x-55/3

you're clear till this step, right ? 

y = (5/6)x +12-55/3

y = (5/6)x -19/3

right ?

hartnn · Answer

write each term in each step so you won't forget any term

hartnn · Answer

now multiply 6

anonymous · Answer

how do i multiply 6 to both sides of that?

anonymous · Answer

the fraction throws me off in every aspect of this problem, and i don't know what my final answer is supposed to look like so i never know when i'm done

hartnn · Answer

6 * y = 6* (5/6) x -19/3*6

just multiplying 6 to each term

hartnn · Answer

thats why you should keep the trick in mind
eliminate the fraction as soon as you can

in this problem, you could have eliminated the fraction at very first step
by multiplying 6 to each terms

anonymous · Answer

what would the answer be then? because i want to use that as a base to see what the rest of my answers should look like...

anonymous · Answer

because i have more of these with fractions..

hartnn · Answer

doesn't the question say , that you should express your answer in standard form or something ?

hartnn · Answer

if not, we will express it in standard form by default

ax+by+c=0 
or
ax+by =c

anonymous · Answer

'Write an equation of each line'

hartnn · Answer

ok, standard form them 

6 * y = 6* (5/6) x -19/3*6

next step ?

anonymous · Answer

no clue...

anonymous · Answer

divide?

anonymous · Answer

that would be...6y=30/36x -114/18? lololol

hartnn · Answer

6y = 5x -38

u get how that came ?
