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. 1/-2 = -0.5.
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 --2/1 = 2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=2*x+1.
