Linear Graphs

y = mx + c: m is the steepness, c is where it crosses the y-axis.

📖 Learn

Gradient m

Up ÷ across. Positive slopes up, negative slopes down.

Intercept c

Where the line crosses the y-axis (x = 0).

Parallel

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

Worked example

Gradient & intercept of y = 3x − 2

  1. 1Compare with y = mx + c
  2. 2m = 3
  3. 3c = −2 ✅

🧪 Play with it: Line & grid

y = 1x + 0

Tap the grid to see a point's coordinates.
