x intercept is when y=0
y intercept is when x=0
------------
6x+6Y=30
6x+6*0=30
6x+0=30
x=30/6
x=5
(5,0)
------------
because the numbers are the same
y intercept = (0,5)

6x+6y=30
divide equation by 6
x+y=5
y intercept point
when x=0, y=5 (0,5)
X intercept point
when y = 0 , x=5, (5,0)
Plot the points draw the line graph
