write the equation of the line with slope 3/5 through the point (20,6)

Answer 1

slope = 3/5 = (y-6)/(x-20) = "rise over run" = change in y values divided by change in x values

y-6 = (3/5)(x-20) = (3/5)x - 12

y = (3/5)x -12 +6

y = (3/5)x - 6 in slope intercept form where y intercept = -6 and slope = 3/5

or

5y = 3x - 30

or

3x - 5y = 30 in standard form
