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. -7/2 = -3.5.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -7/1 = -7.
Slope is -2/1 = -2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+-7.

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. 3/-1 = -3.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 3/1 = 3.
Slope is --1/1 = 1.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1*x+3.

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. 9/2 = 4.5.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 9/3 = 3.
Slope is -2/3 = -0.666666666666667.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.666666666666667*x+3.
