How to put 5x-6y=24 into slope intercept form

5x - 6y = 24

subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 6y - 5x = 24 - 5x

-6y =  24 - 5x

Divide both sides by  - 6 

-6y / - 6 =  24 - 5x / -6

y = 1/6 ( 5x - 24 )

x - axis interception points of  1/6 ( 5x - 24 )

x - intercept is a point on the graph where y = 0

solve  1/6 ( 5x - 24 ) = 0

5x - 24 / 6 = 0

5x - 24 = 0

x = 24 / 5

point  x : ( 24/5 and 0 )

x - intercept is a point on the graph where x = 0


solve y = 1/6 ( 5x - 24 ) 

y = 1/6 ( 5 * 0 - 24 )

y = - 4

point  y : ( 0  and - 4 )

You can narrow down 258/300 to 43/50 by dividing both sides by 6 to make it easier. Now, if you divide 43 by 50 you should get a decimal of .86, which is also 86%.
