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/-0.4444 = 45.004500450045.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -20/1 = -20.
- Slope is --0.4444/1 = 0.4444.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.4444*x+-20.
