If y=-3x+11, then 3x+y=11
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 3+x+%2B+1+y+=+11 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-3%2F1.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 11/3 = 3.66666666666667.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 11/1 = 11.
  • Slope is -3/1 = -3.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-3*x+11.
