Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK). </h2><h2 /><h2>"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.</h2><h2 /><h2>In this formula :</h2><h2>y tells us how far up the line goes</h2><h2>x tells us how far along</h2><h2>m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is</h2><h2>b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis</h2><h2>The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line 3x-4y-15 = 0 and calculate its properties</h2><h2>Calculate the Y-Intercept :</h2><h2>Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 15/-4 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-3.75000</h2><h2> y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000 </h2><h2>Calculate the X-Intercept :</h2><h2>When y = 0 the value of x is 5/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 5.00000</h2><h2> x-intercept = 15/3 = 5 </h2><h2>Calculate the Slope :</h2><h2>Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -3.750 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -2.250. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -2.250 - (-3.750) = 1.500 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)</h2><h2> Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750 </h2><h2>Geometric figure: Straight Line</h2><h2> Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750</h2><h2> x-intercept = 15/3 = 5</h2><h2> y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000</h2><h2>Hope This Helps!!!</h2>
