Question

x/5 - y/6 = 1 can I graph this?

Answer 1

Yes, It is a straight line. What I recommend is getting rid of the fractions.
So multiply the whole equation by 30

Answer 2

so my first point would be 5 on the x axis and then 6 on the y axis

Answer 3

x/5 - y/6 = 1


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


The equation is now in the form x/a + y/b = 1 where 'a' is the x-intercept and 'b' is the y-intercept.


So you know that the two points (5, 0) and (0, -6) are on this line. This is because a = 5 and b = -6.

Answer 4

k got that but I get confused when graphing it

Answer 5

so plot (5,0) and (0,-6) to get
