5x -6y =5
.
5x-5=6y
.
5/6 x -5/6 =y,,,,,,,,basic slope intercept form
.
m=5/6,,,,,,y intercept = -5/6
.
.
Pick two points,,,make a T box
.
X,,,,,,,Y
.
0,,,,,,,-5/6
.
6,,,,,,, ....5/6*6 -5/6,,,,,5-5/6,,,,,4 1/6
.
.
now slope = m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
.
(0,-5/6),,,,(6, 4 1/6)
.
m= (4 1/6 - (-5/6) ) / (6-0) = +5/6,,,,,as before
.
