Question

Graph the linear equation

5x -6y = 30 by following these steps:
Step 1: Find the x-intercept. Let y = 0 and solve for x.
x=

Answer 1

Substitute 0 for the value of x and y.

5x - 6y = 30

5x - 6(0) = 30

5x = 30

The x-intercept is 6.

x = 6

(6, 0)

5x - 6y = 30

5(0) - 6y = 30

-6y = 30

y = -5

The y-intercept is -5.

(0, -5)
