Question

graph the equations using the x and y intercepts
x/6-y/5=1

Answer 1

This equation is in intercept form (or close enough to it). Intercept form is

x/a + y/b = 1

and the x-intercept is (a, 0) and the y-intercept is (0,b)

-------------------------------------------------------

x/6-y/5=1

can be rewritten as

x/6+y/(-5)=1

so we can see that a = 6 and b = -5

So the x-intercept is (6,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-5)

Answer 2

Alternatively, plug in x = 0 and solve for y to get the the y intercept. Plug in y = 0 and solve for x to get the x-intercept. You'll get the same answers.
