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. 6/2 = 3.
- Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 6/1 = 6.
- Slope is -2/1 = -2.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+6.
