solver:
DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation
describes a sloping line. For any
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. 2/1 = 2.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 2/-2 = -1.
Slope is -1/-2 = 0.5.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.5*x+-1.

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