5x-6y=10
This is a linear equation...
A typical linear equation is written in the form
y=mx+c
Where m=gradient
And c=intercept
So all you have to do is to express y in terms of x "make y the subject of the formula"
Therefore 5x-6y=10
6y=5x-10
Divide through by 6
6y/6 = 5x/6 - 10/6
The intercept here is = - 10/6
Gradient = 5/6-----the coefficient of x....
Hope this helped.....???
