5x-6y=-30
-6Y=-5X=-30
Y=-5X/-6-30/-6
Y=5X/6+5
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+5x%2F6+%2B5+%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, 5x/6 +5).

ok our first step is to put it in y= form. we have to move the 5x to the other side of the equal sign to get the Y alone. -6y=-5x-30 (the 5x became negative because when you move a number on the other side of the = the number becomes its opposite.)
since they are all negative we can change them all the positive because its the same thing.
6y=5x+30. now we have to get rid of the 6 because we only want one y. to do this you divide everything by 6. so your new answer is y=5/6x+5
im sorry i cant seem to get the graph to work but i will try to explain how to graph it to you.
y=5/6x+5 ⬅ that five tell you where you are going to graph your y intercept. so when you graph this all you do is move 5 spaces up on the y axis and place a dot. your slope will tell you where to move from this point. since our slope is positive 5/6 what you do is move up 5 spaces from the dot you just made then move to the right 6 spaces and thats where u place your dot. and you keep doing the same pattern up 5 then move 6 to the right then place your dot. draw a line through the dots and there's your line graph!

hope that helped!
