Answer:

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{6}x -1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know the slope is -5/6. From here we can write this equation:

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{6}x + b[/tex]

In the question they give us both the x and y in this equation (-6,4)

Plug them in to the equation and solve for b:

[tex]4 = -\frac{5}{6} (-6) + b\\4 = \frac{30}{6} + b\\4 = 5 + b \\-1 = b[/tex]

Now, we can write the equation as follows:

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{6}x -1[/tex]

I hope this helps!!
