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. 30/5 = 6.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 30/-3 = -10.
Slope is -5/-3 = 1.66666666666667.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1.66666666666667*x+-10.
