Just one solution..
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
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. -4/1 = -4.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -4/2 = -2.
  • Slope is -1/2 = -0.5.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.5*x+-2.

  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -1/1 = -1.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -1/-1 = 1.
  • Slope is -1/-1 = 1.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1*x+1.
