y=70+18x
-18x+y=70
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation -18+x+%2B+1+y+=+70 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+--18%2F1.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 70/-18 = -3.88888888888889.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 70/1 = 70.
  • Slope is --18/1 = 18.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=18*x+70.
