Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Plotted on the x-y plane, the slope of a
straight line is ( change in y ) / ( change in x )
---------------------------------------
If you put the equation into the form
, then = slope
and = y-intercept
------------------------------------

Divide both side by

------------------
This tells you slope = and
y-intercept =
-----------------------
Here's the plot:
