Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation AMP Parsing Error of [-6 x + -1 y = ]: Invalid expression '': syntax error at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 203. . 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. /-6 = 0.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is /-1 = 0.
Slope is --6/-1 = -6.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-6*x+0.
