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 ...

The y-intercept is the point at which a linear equation crosses the y-axis on the x=0 plot point. The equation to determine both the slope and the y-intercept of a line is y=mx+b. This calculation may ...
