Answer

Slope: $m=\frac{7}{6}$ y-intercept: $(0,-5)$

Work Step by Step

In a linear equation $y=mx+b$, $m$ is the slope and $(0,b)$ the y-intercept. That is, the y-intercept is the point on the line when $x=0$ $7x-6y=30$ $-6y=-7x+30$ $y=\frac{-7}{-6}x+\frac{30}{-6}$ $y=\frac{7}{6}x-5$ Slope: $m=\frac{7}{6}$ y-intercept: $(0,-5)$
