Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation 4+x+%2B+-6+y+=+-18 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+-4%2F-6.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -18/4 = -4.5.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -18/-6 = 3.
  • Slope is -4/-6 = 0.666666666666667.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.666666666666667*x+3.
