Hi
6x-8y=40 OR y = (-6/8)x - 5
Pt(40/6,0) is the x-intercept
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = (6/8)x - 5 slope m = (-6/8) and the y-intercept is Pt(0,-5)
Plotting x and y-intercepts and connecting with a line
Note: as y increases/decreases by 6, x increases/decreases by 8
