PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE:
Slope Intercept form of the equation of a line
The slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is called the slope-intercept form because
it contains information about these two properties. The equation of a straight line Any equation of
the form y = mx + c.
The slope and intercept of a straight line In the equation y = mx + c the value of m is called the slope,
(or gradient), of the line. It can be positive, negative or zero.
The value of c is called the vertical intercept of the line. It is the value of y when x = 0. When drawing
a line, c gives the position where the line cuts the vertical axis.
