You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can solve for +x+ or you can solve for +y+
I think you want to solve for +y+
+6x+%2B+5y+=+2+
First subtract +6x+ from both sides
+6x+%2B+5y+=+2+
+-6x+=+-6x+
---------------
+5y+=+-6x+%2B+2+
Now divide both sides by +5+
+%28+5%2F5+%29%2Ay+=+%28+-6%2F5+%29%2Ax+%2B+2%2F5+
+y+=+%28-6%2F5+%29%2Ax+%2B+2%2F5+
------------------------
What I just did was go from the "standard form"
of this linear equation to the " slope-intercept "
form.
-------------------------
In the slope intercept-form, +-6%2F5+ is the slope
and +2%2F5+ is the y-intercept
