Gradient = -2
y-intercept = -4
It is a straight line with gradient -A/B and intercept C/B.
-6
17x + 2y = 23 is the equation of a straight line with gradient -8.5 and intercept 11.5
m = slope b = y intercept ( value when x =0)
When equation of line is y=-4x+3, Gradient is -4 (as seen from the coefficient of x) and the y-intercept is +3 (point where x=0)
It is a straight line with gradient -A/B and intercept C/B.
-6
The value of m is the slope and the value of b is the y intercept.
When the equation is in the form "y = mx + c" the intercept is given by 'c' (and the gradient by 'm'): 3x + 3y = 9 ⇒ x + y = 3 ⇒ y = -x + 3 ⇒ Intercept is 3 (And the gradient is -1)
17x + 2y = 23 is the equation of a straight line with gradient -8.5 and intercept 11.5
They are both parallel because the slope or gradient is the same but the y intercept is different.
This constant has the Y intercept value.
3y = -5x+2 y = -5/3x+2/3 The gradient is -5/3 and the y intercept is 2/3
The equation of the line is y = 7x + 5 The gradient = the slope of the line = dy/dx = 7, in this case. The y-intercept is 5. ========================
m = slope b = y intercept ( value when x =0)
It is the intercept: the value that y takes when x = 0
When equation of line is y=-4x+3, Gradient is -4 (as seen from the coefficient of x) and the y-intercept is +3 (point where x=0)
