Equation $\"-6+x+%2B+1+y+=+-5\"$ describes a sloping line. For any
\n" ); document.write( " equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is $\"-a%2Fb+=+--6%2F1\"$ .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -5/-6 = 0.833333333333333.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -5/1 = -5.
Slope is --6/1 = 6.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=6*x+-5.
