Problem: 5x +6y = 18 for y
Answer: y = 3-(5/6)x
When graphed this equation would be a line. By examining your answer to part a, what is the slope and y-intercept of this line?
Slope = ______
Y-intercept = _____
Using your answer from part a, find the corresponding value of y when x =12.


Standard form for slope and y-intercept is:
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
In the above equation:
y=-(5/6)x+3
Slope=-5/6
Y-intercept=3
Value of y when x=12:
y=-(5/6)(12)+3
y=-10+3
y=-7
