y=25-3x/5
3/5(x)+y=25
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 25/0.6 = 41.6666666666667.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 25/1 = 25.
  • Slope is -0.6/1 = -0.6.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.6*x+25.
