Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 6+x+%2B+3+y+=+12 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-6%2F3.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 12/6 = 2.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 12/3 = 4.
  • Slope is -6/3 = -2.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+4.
