In order to graph linear equations by finding intercepts, we must remember what an x and y intercept are. So remember that in an x-intercept it’s the y that equals zero, and for the y-intercept it’s ...

Any equation that can be rearranged into the form \(y = mx + c\), will have a straight line graph. \(m\) is the gradient, or steepness of the graph, and \(c\) is the \(y\)-intercept, or where the line ...

In order to work with gradients and straight lines successfully, a good understanding of coordinates and linear graphs is needed. The gradient of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the ...

So let's look at first what slope-intercept form is. Slope intercept form is actually y equals mx plus b. The reason why it is called slope intercept form is because it gives a slope and an intercept.
