document.write( " 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. 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/-2 = -1.
- Slope is -1/-2 = 0.5.
- Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.5*x+-1.
