Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
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. 0/-8 = 0.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 0/3 = 0.
  • Slope is --8/3 = 2.66666666666667.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=2.66666666666667*x+0.
