6y = - 5x + 18
y = (- 5 / 6) x + 3
Slope , m = (- 5 / 6) and y intercept is y = 3

5x + 6y = 18 6y = -5x + 18 y = (-5/6)x + 3 Then the slope is (-5/6) and the y-intercept is (0,3) whilst x = 12, we've 5(12) + 6y = 18 60 + 6y = 18 6y = 18 - 60 6y = -forty two y = -7

For all straight line curves, you need to make it end up in the form y = Mx + c
where c is a constant, and M is the coefficient of x
so rearrange it to become this form by moving y on one side and everything else on the other
6y = -5x + 18
then, since y has nothing beside it, remove the 6 by dividing thruout by 6
y = -5/6 x + 3
the slope (more commonly referred to as gradient, is the coefficient of x, so it is -5/6
the y-intercept is when x = 0, so therefore is c (3), and is (0,3)

5x + 6y = 18

You want to get in the form of y = mx + b.

1. subtract 5x from each side: 6y = -5x + 18
2. divide everything by 6: y = -5/6x + 3

y-int = 3
slope = -5/6

First, you explicit the y

y = -(5/6)x + 3

Then you abserve that, by definition, the slope is the coefficient of the x, and the intecept is the other numerical value, in general if:

y = ax + b
"a" is the slope and "b" is the intercept.

So, in your case,

a = slope = -5/6
b= intercept = 3

5x + 6y = 18
6y = -5x + 18
y = -5/6x + 3

slope is -5/6, intercept is 3

5x+ 6y=18
6y = 18 - 5x
y = -5/6 x + 3
The slope = -5/6

y = -5/6 x + 3
y = -5/6(0) + 3
y = 3
y intercept = (0,3)

y = -5/6x + 3

m = -5/6
b = 3
