<PRE><B>Question 148906</B>
How do you figure out about identifying graph equations with intercepts.  Such questions as 6x + 5y + 7 = 0
------------
If I understand your question, put it into standard slope intercept form, 
y=mx+b.  b is the y intercept.
6x+5y+7=0
5y=-6x-7
y = -(6/5)x - 7/5
The y intercept is -7/5, and the slope is -6/5
---------------
To find the x intercept, set y = 0
6x + 5*0 + 7 = 0
6x = -7
x = -7/6
