slope: highlight%28-3%2F2%29
y-intercept:(0,0)
Solution:
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 3+x+%2B+2+y+=+0 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-3%2F2.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 0/3 = 0.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 0/2 = 0.
  • Slope is -3/2 = -1.5.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-1.5*x+0.
