In: y = mx + c

What does the m represent?

• y -intercept

• x-intercept

• gradient

• whether it will be a straight line

What does the gradient tell you?

• How long the line is

• If the line is straight

• If the line slopes upwards or downwards (from left to right)

• The steepness of the line
