Understanding Linear Equations
A linear equation is an equation for a straight line. The standard slope-intercept form is y = mx + c, where 'm' is the slope (gradient) and 'c' is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).
💡
Pro Tips
If m > 0, the line rises from left to right.
If m < 0, the line falls from left to right.
If m = 0, the line is horizontal (y = c).
The x-intercept is found by setting y = 0: x = -c/m.
