The easiest way is to set one variable equal to 0 and solve for the other. This works well when the coefficients are factors of the constant (6 and 5 are factors of 30)
x---------y
0======-6
5---------0
There are other values one may use, but two points determine a line.

Graph 6x-5y=30 using a table of value:

x|y
0|-6...6%2A0-5y=30->-5y=30->y=30%2F-5->y=-6
5|0...6x-5%2A0=30->6x=30->x=30%2F6->x=5
plot these points and draw a line through:
