You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the line crosses the y-axis (intercepts) at (0,10)

the slope is .15 , so for every 3 units UP in the y-direction , go 20 units to the right in the x-direction
___ or you can go down 3 units on y and then go to the left 20 units on x

going down and left from (0,10) takes you to (-20,7)
