I think you mean like y=mx+c
6x+5y=-15 -- subtract 6x 5y=-15-6x -- divide by 5 y=(-6x/5)-3

The equation 6 x + 5 y = − 15 can be rewritten into intercept form as − 2 5 ​ x ​ + − 3 y ​ = 1 , which indicates the x-intercept and y-intercept. This process involves rearranging the original equation and isolating the terms to visualize the intercepts clearly. The resulting intercept form shows us the points where the line intersects the axes.
