The equation is already in standard form, so we will just use the solver to illustrate it.

Standard form is ax+by=c



I hope this helps!

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. 15/-2 = -7.5.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 15/5 = 3.
  • Slope is --2/5 = 0.4.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.4*x+3.
