$x + 6 y = 5$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 2.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

Step 2.2.2.1.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{- x}{6}$

Step 2.2.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 2.2.3.1

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6}$

Step 2.3

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Step 2.3.1

Reorder $\frac{5}{6}$ and $- \frac{x}{6}$ .

$y = - \frac{x}{6} + \frac{5}{6}$

Step 2.3.2

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{1}{6} x) + \frac{5}{6}$

Step 2.3.3

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{5}{6}$
