Graph -5/6x=y+1/6

$- \frac{5}{6} x = y + \frac{1}{6}$

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $y + \frac{1}{6} = - \frac{5 x}{6}$ .

$y + \frac{1}{6} = - \frac{5 x}{6}$

Subtract $\frac{1}{6}$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - \frac{5 x}{6} - \frac{1}{6}$

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.

$y = m x + b$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{5}{6} x) - \frac{1}{6}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{1}{6}$

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

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

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

$b = - \frac{1}{6}$

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: $(0, - \frac{1}{6})$

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

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{1}{6})$

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two $x$ values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding $y$ values.

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{5}{6} x) - \frac{1}{6}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{1}{6}$

Find the x-intercept.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$0 = - \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{1}{6}$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $- \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{1}{6} = 0$ .

$- \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{1}{6} = 0$

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ .

$- \frac{x \cdot 5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = 0$

Move $5$ to the left of $x$ .

$- \frac{5 x}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = 0$

Add $\frac{1}{6}$ to both sides of the equation.

$- \frac{5 x}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$

Since the expression on each side of the equation has the same denominator, the numerators must be equal.

$- 5 x = 1$

Divide each term in $- 5 x = 1$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 x = 1$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 5 x}{- 5} = \frac{1}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 x}{- 5} = \frac{1}{- 5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{1}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = - \frac{1}{5}$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(- \frac{1}{5}, 0)$

Find the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$y = - \frac{5}{6} \cdot 0 - \frac{1}{6}$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{6} \cdot 0 - \frac{1}{6}$

Simplify $- \frac{5}{6} \cdot 0 - \frac{1}{6}$ .

Multiply $- \frac{5}{6} \cdot 0$ .

Multiply $0$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 0 (\frac{5}{6}) - \frac{1}{6}$

Multiply $0$ by $\frac{5}{6}$ .

$y = 0 - \frac{1}{6}$

Subtract $\frac{1}{6}$ from $0$ .

$y = - \frac{1}{6}$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \frac{1}{6})$

Create a table of the $x$ and $y$ values.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - \frac{1}{5} & 0 \\ 0 & - \frac{1}{6} \end{array}$

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

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

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{1}{6})$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - \frac{1}{5} & 0 \\ 0 & - \frac{1}{6} \end{array}$
