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. -20/-10 = 2.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -20/-5 = 4.
Slope is --10/-5 = -2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+4.

-10x-5y+20=0
Re-arrange the equation.
-5y = 10x-20
-5y/-5 = (10x/-5)-(20/-5)
y = -2x+4
