5x + 6y = -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. -6/5 = -1.2.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -6/6 = -1.
  • Slope is -5/6 = -0.833333333333333.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.833333333333333*x+-1.
