Answer :
[tex]\text{Answer: intercept is }\frac{5}{6}\text{ or }0.833[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} We\text{ are given the equation of a straight line} \\ 8x\text{ + 6y = 5} \\ \text{The standard form of slope - intercept equation is given as} \\ y\text{ = mx + b: where m = slope and b = intercept} \\ \operatorname{Re}\text{ - arrange the equation} \\ 8x\text{ + 6y = 5} \\ 6y\text{ = 5 - 8x} \\ 6y\text{ = -8x + 5} \\ \text{Divide through by 6} \\ \frac{6y}{6}\text{ = }\frac{-8x}{6}\text{ + }\frac{5}{6} \\ y\text{ = -}\frac{8x}{6}\text{ + }\frac{5}{6} \\ \text{Intercept is }\frac{5}{6}\text{ or 0.833} \end{gathered}[/tex]
