To find slope and y-intercept write the given equation into $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ form, where $m$ $m$ is the slope and $b$ $b$ is y-intercept. Compare and get the solution.

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of a straight line is $y = m x + b$ $y = mx + b$ where $m$ $m$ is the slope and $b$ $b$ is the y-intercept.

To find slope and intercept of $5 x - y = 6$ $5x-y=6$ we need to convert the given equation into the slope intercept form.

Start by isolating $y$ $y$ .

$5 x - y = 6$ $5x - y = 6$ subtract $5 x$ $5x$ from both the sides
$- y = - 5 x + 6$ $-y = -5x + 6$ .
$y = 5 x - 6$ $y= 5x - 6$ got by multiplying both sides by $- 1$ $-1$

$y = 5 x - 6$ $y=5x-6$
$y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$

We can see $m = 5$ $m = 5$ and $b = - 6$ $b = -6$
