Answer

$a.)$ $y=-\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{53}{24}$ $b.)$ $y=\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{9}{40}$ $m=-\frac{5}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$5x+3y= 0$ $3y=-5x$ $y=-\frac{5}{3}x$ $slope: m=-\frac{5}{3}$ --- $a.)$ $m=-\frac{5}{3},(\frac{7}{8},\frac{3}{4})$ $y-\frac{3}{4}=-\frac{5}{3}(x-\frac{7}{8})$ $24y-18=-40(x-\frac{7}{8})$ $24y-18=-40x+35$ $24y=-40x+53$ $y=-\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{53}{24}$ $b.)$ $m=\frac{3}{5}, (\frac{7}{8},\frac{3}{4})$ $y-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{5}(x-\frac{7}{8})$ $40y-30=24(x-\frac{7}{8})$ $40y-30=24x-21$ $40y=24x+9$ $y=\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{9}{40}$
