Rewrite Equation: Step 1: Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.Calculation: 6x−5y=30−5y=−6x+30y=56x−6
Identify Slope and Y-Intercept: Step 2: Identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation y=56x−6. Slope (m)=56, which determines the steepness and direction of the line. Y-intercept (b)=−6, where the line crosses the y-axis.
Plot Y-Intercept: Step 3: Plot the y-intercept on the graph.Place a point at (0,−6) on the y-axis.
Use Slope to Plot Point: Step 4: Use the slope to plot another point.From (0,−6), move up 6 units and right 5 units to reach (5,0).Plot the point (5,0).
Draw Line Through Points: Step 5: Draw the line through the points (0,−6) and (5,0). This line represents all solutions to the equation 6x−5y=30.
