Y=mX+b
6x+5y=20
5Y=-6X+20
Y=-6X/5+20/5
Y=-6X/5+4
Setting Y=0 solve for the X intercept.
0=-6X/5+4
6X/5=4
6X=20
X=20/6
X=3.13 ANS. FOR X INTERCEPT.
THE Y INTERCEPT IS THE b VALUE (4).
PROOF:

Put into y=mx+b form
...
5y = -6x + 20
y+=+%28-6%2F5%29x+%2B+4
...
slope is -6%2F5
...
y intercept, b, is 4
...
x intercept is
0 = %28-6%2F5%29x+%2B+4
-4 = %28-6%2F5%29x
-4(-5%2F6) = x
x = 10%2F3
...graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-6%2F5%29x%2B4%29
