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. 10/2 = 5.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 10/5 = 2.
- Slope is -2/5 = -0.4.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.4*x+2.
