Q. For the given equation, find the slope and the y-intercept. Use these to graph the equation.5x+6y=42
Convert to slope-intercept form: Step 1: Convert the equation to slope-intercept form y=mx+c.Calculation: 5x+6y=426y=−5x+42y=6−5x+7
Identify slope and y-intercept: Step 2: Identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation y=6−5x+7.Calculation: Slope (m) = −65, y-intercept (c) = 7
Plot y-intercept on graph: Step 3: Plot the y-intercept on the graph.Calculation: Start at point (0,7) on the y-axis.
Use slope to find point: Step 4: Use the slope to find another point.Calculation: From (0,7), move 6 units up and 5 units to the right to reach (5,13).
