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. 6/3 = 2.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 6/-2 = -3.
- Slope is -3/-2 = 1.5.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1.5*x+-3.
