X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 3/3 = 1.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 3/-1 = -3.
Slope is -3/-1 = 3.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=3*x+-3.

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

Equation $\"2+x+%2B+1+y+=+-8\"$ describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is $\"-a%2Fb+=+-2%2F1\"$ .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -8/2 = -4.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -8/1 = -8.
Slope is -2/1 = -2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+-8.
