Answer:
Solution: The general form of the line on a graph is y = mx+c,
where y is the coordinate of the point along the y-axis,
x is the coordinate of the point along the x-axis,
m is the slope of the line or arc tan of the angle the line makes with the x-axis, and
c is the intercept the line makes on the y-axis.
Suppose we want a line having a slope of 45º with the x-axis and passes through point P (4,6), the equation of the line is
y = mx + c
6 = tan 45 * 4 + c, or
6 = 4 + c, or
c = 6–4 = 2.
