Aline can be defined in general form by the equation ax+by = c where a, b and c are constants. you may assume that both a and b are non-zero. then the slope of the line is , its x intercept is , and its y intercept is . of course your answers will depend on a, b, and c. remember that mathematics, and webwork, are case sensitive, so make sure to use upper case letters a, b and c.

Note: I'm not going to type in case sensitive or correct grammer so it's not my fault if you paste my answer and the program says it's wrong

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept

the x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0

so

for the slope, solve for y
Ax+By=C
minus Ax both sides
By=-Ax+c
divide both sides by B


the slope is and the y intercept is at

find x intercept
set y=0

Ax+By=C
Ax+B(0)=C
Ax=C
divide both sides by A

the x intercept is at or the point

slope is
the x intercept is at or the point
the y intercept is at or the point
