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/-5 = 1.2.
- 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 --5/1 = 5.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=5*x+-6.
