Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation -2+x+%2B+3+y+=+3 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. 3/-2 = -1.5.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 3/3 = 1.
  • Slope is --2/3 = 0.666666666666667.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.666666666666667*x+1.
