Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation $\"-3+x+%2B+4+y+=+-9\"$ describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is $\"-a%2Fb+=+--3%2F4\"$ .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -9/-3 = 3.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -9/4 = -2.25.
Slope is --3/4 = 0.75.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.75*x+-2.25.
