Choose one or more answers a y = -x + 2 b y = 3x + b c y = -3x + b d y = 3x - b Feedback 1 Slope intercept form gives the graph of a straight line and is represented in the form of y=mx+c. 2 m is always the slope ,steepness or gradient of a line 3 This also means the general equation of a straight line 4 It occurs when the line intercepts with the y axis 5 It shows that there is no change along the y-axis 6 The value is very big! In other words, we say infinity. 7 This is the gradient of a line: change in y over change in x 8 x intercept is obtained when y=0 9 The slope of a line is considered to be a positive slope line if the right side of the line is higher, or, has a greater vertical value than the left side of the line and vice versa 10 When lines are parallel, the gradients are equal. You check the gradients of the two lines, that is, the value of m
