You mean y-intercept and gradient. For the y intercept you simply look at where the line crosses the y-axis- that's the the vertical one. If it crosses at (0,4) for example the y-intercept is 4 (if (0,6), it's 6 etc.)
For the gradient you have to take two points on the line and do the following sum:
change in y divided by change in x
so if the first point is (3,3) and the second point is (4,8) then you do 8-5=change in y=3
4-3=change in x=1 and 3/1=3 so your gradient is 3.
If you are looking for the equation of a straight line, you then fit it into y=mx+c where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Hope that helps. =)

How do you find slope intercept form?
the formula for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. in the equation mx is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
What is a line in slope-intercept form?
A line in slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, find any two coordinates, and divide the difference in y-values by the difference in x-values; to find the y-intercept, find the value of y where x = 0.
How do you find a slope to a equation?
the slope formula is y=mx+b slope-intercept form of an equation of a line. where m=slope and b=the y-intercept
How do you find the slope and the y-intercept of each line?
y=Mx + b m = slope b= y-intercept
How to find slope and y intercept form?
The slope intercept form equation is stated as the following: y= mx + b. Where m is the slope or the coefficient in front of the x and b is the y intercept.
