Answer:
y=1/5x-31/5 (or y=0.2x-6.2 in decimals)
Step-by-step explanation:
x=5y-8 (original equation)
x+8=5y (Addition Property of Equality)
1/5x+8/5=y (Division Property of Equality, slope of original equation is 1/5)
y-y1=m(x-x1) (point-slope formula)
y-(-5))=1/5(x-(6)) (plug in the slope that was found earlier and the point given in the question)
y+5=1/5(x-6)
y+5=1/5x-6/5 (Distributive Property of Multiplication) Note: 5 = 25/5
y=1/5x-31/5 (Subtraction Property of Equality, and there's your answer)
y=0.2x-6.2 (This is the same answer, but written with decimals)
