The two points that I used for the line is (0,4) and (6,0)
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 2+x+%2B+3+y+=+4 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-2%2F3.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 4/2 = 2.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 4/3 = 1.33333333333333.
  • Slope is -2/3 = -0.666666666666667.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.666666666666667*x+1.33333333333333.
