The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have the slope m = 4 →
and point (1, 6). Substitute:
<em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

<u>Answer:</u>
gradient = =
y-intercept =
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
• The slope-intercept form of an equation takes the general form:
,
where:
m = slope,
c = y-intercept.
• We are given the equation:
To change this into the slope-intercept form, we must make y the subject:
[subtract
from both sides]
⇒ [divide both sides by 3]
⇒
• Comparing this equation with the general form equation, we see that:
m =
c = .
This means that the gradient is , and the y-intercept is
.
