You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well we can write $\"y=x%2B2\"$ as 2=-x+y

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

Equation $\"-1+x+%2B+1+y+=+2\"$ describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is $\"-a%2Fb+=+--1%2F1\"$ .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 2/-1 = -2.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 2/1 = 2.
Slope is --1/1 = 1.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1*x+2.
