6x - 36y = 36 (divide each term of both sides by 6)
x - 6y = 6 (subtract x from both sides)
- 6y = -x + 6 (divide each term of both sides by -6)
y = (1/6)x - 1 this is the slope intercept form of the equation of a line, where -1 is the y-intercept.
To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y into the last equation. So we have
y = (1/6)x - 1
0 = (1/6)x - 1 (add 1 to both sides)
1 = (1/6)x (multiply both sides by 6)
6 = x
Thus, the y-intercept is -1, and the x-intercept is 6.

Find the coordinates of the x and y intercepts of -5x plus 6y equals 30?
-5x + 6y = 30At the x-intercept, y=0:-5x = 30 ==> x = -6At the y-intercept, x=0:6y = 30 ==> y = 5
How do you solve an algebra problem?
You can solve your algebra question like this: Example; n+6=16. You are going to need to find out what the N equals to. __+6=16 So you need to find out what the N equals to. You can also solve it like this: 16-6=10. So, 10 is the answer to the equation.
