Question 507635


Notice how {{{y=-(1/6)x-5}}} is in slope-intercept form {{{y=mx+b}}} where m is the slope and (0, b) is the y-intercept.


So this shows us that the slope is {{{m=-1/6}}} and the y-intercept is (0, -5) (since b = -5) 


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
