They are alike in that you graph the lines in the same way, but they are different because you have to shade in one side of the line
The y-intercept, together with the slope of the line, can also be used in graphing linear equations. The slope and y-intercept of a line can be obtained easily by inspection if the equeation of the line is of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
By substitution
When it is a linear equation.
