Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 5+x+%2B+-1+y+=+4 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-5%2F-1.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 4/5 = 0.8.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 4/-1 = -4.
  • Slope is -5/-1 = 5.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=5*x+-4.
