    First, let's multiply both sides by 10 to get nice whole numbers.

    10 (-2.7y+4.5x+1.8) = 10 (0)

    -27y+45x+18=0

    Subtract both sides by 18 to get one side with variable and one side without.

    -27y+45x=-18

    Divide both sides by 3 since all three terms are divisible by 3.

    -9y+15x=-6

    Repeat previous step again.

    -3y+5x=-2

    Subtract both sides by 5x to get y on one side.

    -3y=-5x-2

    Divide both sides by - 3 to get y alone.

    y = (3/5) x+2/3

    Now you know the line has a y intercept at (0,2/3) and a slope of 3/5.
