Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation \"3+x+%2B+4+y+=+1\" describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is \"-a%2Fb+=+-3%2F4\".
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 1/3 = 0.333333333333333.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 1/4 = 0.25.
  • Slope is -3/4 = -0.75.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.75*x+0.25.
