Let $Q_n(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n} A_{i}x^{i}$ be a random polynomial where the coefficients $A_0,A_1,... $ form a sequence of centered Gaussian random variables. Moreover, assume that the increments $\Delta_j=A_j-A_{j-1}$, $j=0,1,2,...$ are independent, assuming $A_{-1}=0$. The coefficients can be considered as $n$ consecutive observations of a Brownian motion. We study the number of times that such a random polynomial crosses a line which is not necessarily parallel to the x-axis. More precisely we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the expected number of real roots of the equation $Q_n(x)=Kx$, for the cases that $K$ is any non-zero real constant $K=o(n^{1/4})$, and $K=o(n^{1/2})$ separately.
