You have to solve for y, to express the equation in "slope-intercept form".

6x +5y = 27
5y = -6x +27

Divide both sides by 5

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is , and the y-intercept is .

6x+5y=27
5y=-6x+27
y=-6x/5+27/5
Slope=-6/5
Y intercept=27/5
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, -6x/5 +27/5).
