Find the Slope and y-intercept 5x-6y-7=0

$5 x - 6 y - 7 = 0$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $5 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 6 y - 7 = - 5 x$

Add $7$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 6 y = - 5 x + 7$

Divide each term in $- 6 y = - 5 x + 7$ by $- 6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 6 y = - 5 x + 7$ by $- 6$ .

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{- 5 x}{- 6} + \frac{7}{- 6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{- 5 x}{- 6} + \frac{7}{- 6}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 5 x}{- 6} + \frac{7}{- 6}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = \frac{(5) x}{6} + \frac{7}{- 6}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = \frac{5 x}{6} - \frac{7}{6}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{7}{6}$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = \frac{5}{6}$

$b = - \frac{7}{6}$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $\frac{5}{6}$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{7}{6})$

Slope: $\frac{5}{6}$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{7}{6})$
