I am not understanding what do I have to do to get the results needed. The book I have does not explain the process neither there is a chapter in the book that teaches you how to do it. I know how to get the slope, y and x intercept. Example. y=1/3x-2  How can this be translated to Ax+By=C. </SPAN>\n" );
