The slope is the rise of the line divided by the run of the line.
For example if the slope says 3/2, from the point you are on, you move to the right two times and then move up 3 spots

If necessary, rearrange the linear equation so that it is in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + c Then the gradient of the line is m.
it means that the line in the linear equation is a vertical line
If you graph a Linear equation it will be a strait line. If it doesn't come out strait, its not linear. Also a linear equation can be put into y=mx+b, with mx meaning the slope and b meaning Y-intersept.
y = 4x-3 is already a linear equation. The slope is 4 and the y-intercept is -3
y=mx+b, because m stands for the slope and b is the y-intercept
