Find the x intercept
y = 0
6x - 5y = 27
6x - 5(0) = 27
6x - 0 = 27
6x = 27
6x /6 = 27 / 6
x = 27/6
- - - - - - - - -
6x - 5y = 27
6x - 5y + 5y = 5y + 27
6x = 5y + 27
6x/6 = 5y/6 + 27/6
x = 5/6y + 27/6. . .this is the x intercept
Slope
m = 5/6
x intercept = 27/6

x intercept is given by making y zero in that equation. That gives 6x = 27 and x = 27/6 = 9/2 or 4.5
The coordinates of that point will be 4.5,0

If you take Y = 0, then 6x-(5 x 0) = 27
:- 6x minus 0 = 27
:- 6x equals 27.
x = 4.5
The X intercept is 4.5

To find the x-intercept you let y=0
6x - 5(0)=27
6 x= 27
x= 27/6 or 4 3/6 = 4 1/2

The x intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis. As you should know that is of course where y=0. Then put y=o into your equation and solve
6x=27 so x= 4.5 Thus the intercept is (4.5,0)

4.5 is the x-intercept of the line 6x-5y=27

6x = 27
x = 27/6 = 9/2
Crosses x axis at (9/2,0)

6x-5y=27
-6x -6x
-5y=27-6x
/-5 /-5
y= -5.4+1.2x
x=1.2
