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. 24/5 = 4.8.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 24/-6 = -4.
- Slope is -5/-6 = 0.833333333333333.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.833333333333333*x+-4.
