An equation of 5x+6y-3=0 is given and it wants me to find an x,y coordinate that is closest to -1, -7

I changed it over to slope form y = 1/2 - 5/6x
would I need to find the perpendicular and go from there?
and use y - y1 = m (x - x1) ?
and then re-input it back to the original formla?

Or is there a better way to do this?

LOL! Didn't I open a can of worms. The reason I ask is because of all the starving horses that I see now that all the slaughter houses are closed. Does any one know what PETA has planned for all those starving horses? Do they just go look at a field of starving horses and say "At least they aren't dying a quick death in a slaughter plant, now they can starve here in this field, nice and safe." Now how humane is that...if I had a choice, I would choose that trip to Mexico right about now. But some PETA are talking about trying to stop that from happening too. Do these people even have part of a plan on what to do with all these horses they are supposably saving?

Thank goodness I have a thick skin, cause I know I am going to hear it on this one. But I will only be happy to see what everyone thinks. Maybe in all the mayhem, there is a solution?

a couple days ago i went to get the mail and there was a mail from the sherrif department. The piece of mail belongs to my brothers girlfriend. i can see through the mail and it shows she has two violations plus a bail payment at $7,000 or risk immediate arrest. (something like that) I am totally shocked taht she would ever do anything...? Well my question is, dont you have to be in jail to post bail??? If she doesnt pay the bail would she go to jail? Also, i am a little bothered by it can i also go to the sherrif department and find out what she did? Only cos she is living with me. and also, can i tell them where she is now (like she is now in my living room eating my food)??? I mean really i would love to see her to go to jail...She needs to learn her lessons on whatever she did...

With violence happening so often in schools across the country.Children 12 and under bringing weapons to school with the intent to harm one or more students and teachers.When should parents be held accountable for their children's actions?
When a child 12 and over gets a gun from their home with the intent to kill should the parent/s be held accountable for their children's actions.I realize parent/s of these children have to live with the actions of what their children have done like the parents of the Columbine High School boys and the more recent 14 yr old boy in Cleveland Ohio, but living with the results of their actions is that enough in your opinion.Is that enough to make you as parent/s or even young adults feel secure in your environment?Do you think the parents of these children should be punished as accessories to their children's crime/s?Especially if said weapon/s came from their own home?

Yikes! This is like High School! I'm 42, and I shake my head. The content is like middle school and I'm the only geek who answers questions. The kids look at me, like I'm weird and roll their eyes.

I'm just trying to get my paper, and I don't even want to go to class. I'm not trying to show off, this is just stuff I know.
I quit going to class because I can't stand the looks and the silence.
I know I don't belong. The class is stupid and all the teens stare at me, for a response. I'm not going to class. I can do the readings and show up for the last 2/3 of class.

I hate college. It's still the same ****, with the same stupid blondes, only I'm paying for it! WHAT!!!

I met this guy about a month ago. He's 31, im 20. He is divorced with two kids. He's really sweet and from day one he was open and honest with me and he has not changed since. The divorce is truly not his fault he did the best he could but his ex-wife decided to be lesbian so they split. He has two beautiful children that he takes care of very well and they like me too! Now he's telling me he's really into me and we've gotten intimate but he treats me with the most respect and doesn't force me to do anything I dont want to. He's a complete woman pleaser and a one woman man. Should I take the chance and date him.

I once read about how to create your own sourdough starter by setting out a bowl of flour and water overnight and capturing the wild yeast present in the air as the dew falls. I've lost the article. Obviously, I don't want to make a bunch of failed batches of bread! Anyone have any particulars that could help me? Thanks.

I must be getting old. I read one answer on here from a guy who said he loved old school wrestling, he said his favourite old scholl wrestlers where The Rock, mankind, and Kane.

So if that's old school what does that make me, as my favourite old school wrestlers are Billy Graham, Bruno Sammartino, and Harley Race.

My question by the way... lol... what was the first Wrestling match you saw. I remember back in the UK seeing Big daddy taking on Giant haystacks. yes they did stink up the ring by modern standards, but it was must see TV, just ask 52 millions british people.

A friend said that homeopathic remedies work well for specific emotional issues. From what research i have done online tonight i came up with belladona but i dont know...i know nothing of homeopathy except that you need to tell all symptoms so here are as many as i can think of.
my symptoms are:
anger when waking up
anger when spoken to
anger pretty much all the time unless im alone or sleeping
now and again ill get so angry that ill pace one room for an entire hour and then end up screaming and throwing things, kicking and punching walls.
other symptoms when angry are-
dont like to be touched
severe headache
heavy breathing
pulling hair
muttering
needing to "get out"
onset is sometimes unpredictable- suddently change from being ok to very angry for no reason or for something silly. It is uncontrolable.
I hope i have given enough symptoms.
I have been on over 12 drugs for depression and im never going back there.
Thanks for all you real answeres in advance.

My husband was out of town. My stepdaughter, she's 14, hung out at the house and was going to be picked up after 8:00p.m. to stay the night at a friends house. I was out with my sister and not coming home until late. I ended up stopping at the house becuase her dad and I could not reach her. When I got to the house, she was not there and there wasn't a note left. I called her Dad becuase he was worried and said that I could not find her. I checked the caller ID and saw two numbers, one I recognized as the neighbors son. The other one I did not recognize. I gave the two numbers to my husband and said give them a call becuase maybe she is with the neighbor. Turns out she arranged to be P/U by a 16 year old boy alone(she has never dated). They went to the grocery store and the beach at night. Her dad said she was till able to stay the night with her friend and hang out tomorrow, just not go to the dance Saturday. Do you think that was fair punishment? Should it have been more or less?

"The difference between gravity and evolution is that even if you can't 'prove' the theory of gravity, you can jump out of a window and injure yourself. It is tried and tested.

The theory of evolution is also tried and tested. Adolf Hitler engineered a project in evolution and millions of people were killed and murdered as a result of his experiment.

Just as testing gravity causes injury. Testing the theory of evolution causes an injury to the hearts of men. Gravity is as anchored in science as evolution is anchored in sin and the wishful thinking of sinful murderous men.

So in reality we are not the ones who are impressionable. It is those who hate who are the puppets. Not Christians. Satan hates mankind. Evolution hates mankind also. See the connection?

While you and others like yourself await a verdict on evolution and other erroneous unscientific concoctions. Christians have moved on with their lives. We rest
