Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y=3x-7`?

Answer 1

Arrange the equation in to the form of `y = mx + c` and equate values: here, gradient = 3 and (`y`) intercept = -7

Explanation:

As it happens, this equation is already in the correct form of `y = mx + c`. This makes finding the gradient and `y` intercept easy, as in this form, gradient = `m` and y intercept = `c`

Hence, `m` = 3 and `y` = -7
