---
6x + 7y = 9
---
the above linear equation is in standard form, with a=6, b=7, and c=9
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this:
6 7 9
into the "Standard form: A B C" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php

answer:
x-intercept = 1.5
y-intercept = 1.28571429
slope = -0.857142857
---
the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
y = (-0.857142857)x + 1.28571429

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept when x=0
so we want to isolate y on one side.
BTW don't mix upper and lower case they are distinct variables.
6x+7y=9
7y=-6x+9
y=-6/7x+9/7
slope is -6/7 and y intercept is +9/7
