equation of a straight line

How do you find the equation of a line given the gradient and y-intercept?

• Use the formula: @@y = mx + c@@, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

• The equation is found by using the formula: @@y = c - mx@@.

• You can determine the equation by calculating the slope and then using @@y = mx^2 + c@@.

• The equation can be derived from the points on the line using the formula: @@y = mx + b@@.

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using their gradients?

• Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient (slope).

• Two lines are parallel if they intersect at a right angle.

• Two lines are parallel if their gradients are negative.

How do you graph a linear equation?

• Plot the y-intercept on the y-axis, then use the gradient to find another point, and draw a straight line through the points.

• Draw a curve that connects the x-intercept and y-intercept.

• Use a ruler to draw a vertical line through the y-intercept.

• Plot random points on the graph and connect them with a line.
