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)
