You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The x and y-axes intercepts are -2.5 and 5 respectively.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus we can write the equation of the straight line as
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F%28-2.5%29%2By%2F5+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"-2x+%2B+y+=+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"y+=+2x+%2B+5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Comparing with the equation \"y+=+mx+%2B+c\", here m = 2 (slope), c = 5 (intercept on y-axis).
\n" ); document.write( "So slope = m = 2.
