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 ...

You'll learn how to identify the slope and y-intercept from a graph or a given equation and how to convert between different forms of linear equations. Practical examples demonstrate how to write the ...

When you graph a series of (x,y) coordinates in Microsoft Excel 2010, you can use the program's built-in functions to display the equation for the line created by those data points. This allows you to ...

The graphs of \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = 2x - 2\) are shown below. The graph of \(y = 2x + 1\) crosses the \(y\)-axis at (0, 1). The graph of \(y = 2x - 2\) crosses the ...

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 ...
