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/-3 = -8.33333333333333.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 25/5 = 5.
- Slope is --3/5 = 0.6.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.6*x+5.
