X-2Y=-6
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. -6/1 = -6.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -6/-2 = 3.
  • Slope is -1/-2 = 0.5.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.5*x+3.
