General form:-
It says (under the title General Form) "If B is nonzero, then the y-intercept, that is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where x is zero), is −C/B, and the slope of the line is −A/B."
How is the slope deduced to be -A/B?
Standard form:-
Aren't this form contradictory to the first form?
I mean, both are the same, but here C is positive, and on the left side of the equation, while in the General Form, C is positive, and on the right side of the equation.
