Find the equation of the line whose slope is -5/6 and x-intercept is 6.

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

When x-intercept = 6; corresponding point on the x-axis = (6, 0). By point-slope form, ⇒ y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ⇒ y - 0 = ⇒ 6y = -5(x - 6) ⇒ 6y = -5x + 30 ⇒ 5x + 6y = 30. Hence, equation of line is 5x + 6y = 30.
