7. 6x + 5y = 30
y =

Answer 1

Answer:
`y=-(6)/(5)x+6`

Explanation:

We need to rewrite this as:
`y=Mx+b`

What we have:
`6x+5y=30`

Begin by isolating 5y. To do this, we have to subtract 6x from both sides.

`6x-6x+5y=30-6x`

`5y=-6x+30`

To completely isolate y, divide by 5.

`(5y)/(5)=(-6x)/(5)+(30)/(5)`

Solve;

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