General linear equation: ax + by = c

The general equation of a line is shown here, where a, b, and c are real numbers, with a and b not simultaneously zero. Solve the equation for y and note the slope (coefficient of x) and y-intercept (constant term). Use these to find the slope and y-intercept of the following lines, without solving for y or computing points.

a. 3x + 4y = 8

b. 2x + 5y= − 15

c. 5x − 6y = − 12

d. 3y − 5x = 9
