Question 10261: y=5/6x-4
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Because this equation is in slope intercept form, the slope and y intercept are obvious. The y-intercept is -4, and the slope = 5/6. This means to start by going down 4 units on the y axis, and put a point there. Now, with your pencil on that point, measure up 5 units, over 6 units to the right, and put a second point there. Connect the points, and you have your graph. It should look like the one below:

Equation  describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is  .- X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 24/5 = 4.8.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 24/-6 = -4.
- Slope is -5/-6 = 0.833333333333333.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.833333333333333*x+-4.
