You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Are you looking for the Line Eqn?
Given---->system%28x=-1%2Cy=6%2Cm=-5%2F6%29
Via Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx%2Bb
6=%28-5%2F6%29%28-1%29%2Bb--->6=%285%2F6%29%2Bb
b=6-%285%2F6%29=%2836-5%29%2F6=31%2F6, Y-Intercept =31%2F6=5.2
Your Line Eqn---->highlight%28y=%28-5%2F6%29x%2B%2831%2F6%29%29
For the x intercept:
f%28y%29=0
0=%28-5%2F6%29x%2B%2831%2F6%29
%285%2F6%29x=31%2F6---->cross%285%2F6%29x%2Fcross%285%2F6%29=%2831%2F6%29%2F%285%2F6%29
x=%2831%2Fcross%286%29%29%28cross%286%29%2F5%29=31%2F5, X-Intercept=31%2F5=6.2
We see graph:

Thank you,
