I was called The Algebra Genius by one student!
Slope-Intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
To rewrite the equation 6x - y = 5, we would first move the x-term to the right of the equation by subtracting 6x from both sides to get
-y = -6x + 5
Next we will divide each term by -1 in order to rid ourselves of the negative sign in front of the y and we get
y = 6x - 5. This is slope-intercept form. Your slope, then is 6, and the y-intercept is at -5.
