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. -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.
