If you mean slope - y intercept form ... Y = mX + b, where b is the y intercept and m is the slope ...

b is a point on the y axis --- 5 becomes the point (5,0).

m is a slope best thought of as fraction. 3 becomes 3/1 ... to be used as 'rise' and 'run' ... rise tells how far to go up (if positive) or down (if negative) ... run tells how far to go to the right (always to the right). After doing both place a second point. Draw a straight line through both points.

How do you find the y-intercept of a symbolic rule?

An example of a symbolic rule is y=2x-5. Since this is in the y=mx+b form, the y-intercept (b) is -5. If your rule looks different, e.g. 3x-2y+8=0, then put 0 in for x, and solve for y: 3(0) -2y +8 = 0 <=> -2y +8 = 0 <=> -2y = -8 <=> y = -8/-2 <=> y=-4. 9 out of 10 teachers (I'm with them) would say that the y-intercept is the number -4. The other one would say it is the point (0,-4)

What is the purpose of steel rule?

"A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line gauge, is an instrument used in geometry, technical drawing, printing and engineering/building to measure distances and/or to rule straight lines. Strictly speaking, the ruler is essentially a straightedge used to rule lines[citation needed], but typically the ruler also contains calibrated lines to measure distances"
