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. 2/2 = 1.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 2/-1 = -2.
- Slope is -2/-1 = 2.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=2*x+-2.
