Slope Intercept

[liesl123]

Write the slope intercept form of the equation. Through (2,3); m= -5/6

I know the equation should be y=mx + b

I can get this part y= -5/6x + (but I am not sure how to find b)

Equation of a line passing through(x₁,y₁) with a slope m:

\(\displaystyle y - y_1 \ = \ m \ * \ (x - x_1)\)

Substitute and simplify.....

Thanks

Here is my work

y-3=-5/6(x-2)
y-3=-5/6x+10/6
y=-5/6x+9/3+10/16
y=-5/6x+14/3

Looks good - with a small typo that I fixed above.
