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. -42/6 = -7.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -42/-7 = 6.
- Slope is -6/-7 = 0.857142857142857.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.857142857142857*x+6.
