Question

Equation a line into slope-intercept form simplifying fractions 5x+6y=42?

Answer 1

Let’s start from 5x+6y=42.

We want it to get down to y= something. Since we are trying to convert it to y=mx+b form!

5x+6y=42

Subtract 5x on both sides.

6y=-5x+42

Divide both sides by 6.


y=-5/6x+7.

And that’s the equation in slope intercept form!

Answer 2

5x+6y = 42

Explanation:

solve for y

6y = -5x + 42

y = (-5/6)x +42/6

y =(-5/6)x + 7 where -5/6=slope and 7=y intercept
