The straight line with equation $y=\\simplify{{rise}/{run}* x+{b}}$ has a gradient of [[0]] and a $y$-intercept of [[1]].

The gradient tells us that if we were on the line $y=\\simplify{{rise}/{run}* x+{b}}$ and we moved to the right {run} units then we would need to move [[2]] units upwards to get back on the line.

For $y=mx+b$, $m$ is the gradient and $b$ is the $y$-intercept.

The gradient (or slope of the line) is

$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$, where the 'rise' is the distance travelled upwards and the 'run' is the distance travelled to the right,
the coefficient of $x$ (that is, the number and sign in front of $x$) when the equation is solved for $y$.

The $y$-intercept is the value of $y$ that the line crosses the $y$-axis at. Since the $y$-axis is the line that corresponds to $x=0$, the $y$-intercept is the $y$-value when $x=0$.

For example, given the equation $y=\\frac{2}{3}x-4$, we can see that the gradient is $\\frac{2}{3}$ and the $y$-intercept is $-4$. This constant gradient of $\\frac{2}{3}$ means that for a run of 3 we need a rise of 2 to stay on the line. Note it also means that say if we run across 6, we need to rise by 4, since $\\frac{2}{3}=\\frac{4}{6}$.

The straight line with equation $y=\\simplify{{rise1}/{run1}* x+{b1}}$ has a gradient of [[0]] and a $y$-intercept of [[1]].

The gradient tells us that if we were on the line $y=\\simplify{{rise1}/{run1}* x+{b1}}$ and we moved to the right {2*run1} units then we would need to move [[2]] units downwards to get back on the line.

In sketching or graphing a straight line, we only need to plot two points and then draw the straight line through them. Any two points will do, but it is easier to plot when the coordinates are whole numbers.

One method is to find the $y$-intercept and then use the gradient to find another \"nice\" point.

Given the equation $y=\\simplify{{rise}/{run} x +{b}}$ the $y$-intercept gives us the coordinates $\\bigg($[[0]], [[1]]$\\bigg)$, then by going up {rise} and across {run} (that is, using the gradient) we get to the coordinates $\\bigg($[[2]], [[3]]$\\bigg)$.

Another common method (to find points on a line) is to use a table of values.

Given the equation $y=\\simplify{{rise1}/{run1} x+ {b1}}$ fill in the table of values:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

$x$	0	1	2
$y$	[[0]]	[[1]]	[[2]]

Notice, with this approach we are more likely to get fractions (which are often a bit harder to plot).

{tableofvalues()}

Take the values of $x$ provided in the table and substitute them into the equation for $y$. Put each $y$ value in the table under the corresponding $x$ value. Once you are finished the points on the graph should form a straight line. If they don't it is likely some of your values are incorrect.

For example, say you have $y=\\frac{2}{3}x-1$, and we need to fill in the following table of values

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

$x$	0	1	2
$y$

We take $x=0$ and substitute it into $y=\\frac{2}{3}x-1$ and get $y=\\frac{2}{3}\\times 0 -1=-1$.

We take $x=1$ and substitute it into $y=\\frac{2}{3}x-1$ and get $y=\\frac{2}{3}\\times 1 -1=-\\frac{1}{3}$.

We take $x=2$ and substitute it into $y=\\frac{2}{3}x-1$ and get $y=\\frac{2}{3}\\times 2 -1=\\frac{1}{3}$.

So we fill the table out as shown:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

$x$	0	1	2
$y$	-1	-1/3	1/3

Read the $y$-intercept off the graph (this is denoted $b$), find a 'nice point' with whole number coordinates, use this to determine the gradient (this is denoted $m$). Express as $y=mx+b$.

Recall the gradient is $\\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$, determine the rise and run by looking at getting from the $y$-intercept to the next nice (whole number) point.

For example, suppose we had the following graph

We see that the $y$-intercept is $-3$, that is $b=-3$. We can find a 'nice point' with whole number coordinates at the point $(-2,2)$. To get from the $y$-intercept to this point requires we rise up 1 unit and run across 2 units. So our gradient is $\\frac{1}{2}$, that is $m=\\frac{1}{2}$. We now can write our equation, $y=\\frac{1}{2}x-3$.

Note we could have chosen other points to be our 'nice point', for example $(-1,4)$ or $(6,0)$.

The gradient intercept form of the line shown below is $y=$ [[0]].

Given one point and the gradient determine the equation of the line.

The gradient intercept form of the line that passes through the point ({point_x},{point_y}) with a gradient of $\\simplify{{rise}/{run}}$ is $y=$ [[0]].

There are two common ways to approach these questions:

Use the one point gradient formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. Or,
Substitute the $x$ and $y$ values of the point and the value for $m$ into the gradient intercept form of a line $y=mx+b$ to determine $b$. Now you have $m$ and $b$ so you can write the equation of the line in the form $y=mx+b$.

For example, suppose we had to find the equation of the line through $(2,3)$ with a gradient of $\\frac{1}{4}$. The following are examples of using the above approaches:

Substitute $m=\\frac{1}{4}$ and $(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)$ into the equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. This gives $y-3=\\frac{1}{4}(x-2)$. Expanding the brackets we have $y-3=\\frac{x}{4}-\\frac{1}{2}$. Making $y$ the subject gives $y=\\frac{x}{4}+\\frac{5}{2}$.
Take the point $(2,3)$ as $(x,y)$ and substitute this and the gradient into the equation $y=mx+b$. This gives $3=\\frac{1}{4}(2)+b$. Solving for $b$ gives $b=\\frac{5}{2}$. Therefore the equation of the line is $y=\\frac{x}{4}+\\frac{5}{2}$.

Recall $\\frac{x}{4}$ is the same as $\\frac{1}{4}x$.

The gradient intercept form of the line that passes through the point ({bpoint_x},{bpoint_y}) with a gradient of $\\simplify{{brise}/{brun}}$ is $y=$ [[0]].

There are two common ways to approach these questions:

Use the one point gradient formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. Or,

For example, suppose we had to find the equation of the line through $(2,3)$ with a gradient of $-\\frac{1}{4}$. The following are examples of using the above approaches:

Substitute $m=-\\frac{1}{4}$ and $(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)$ into the equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. This gives $y-3=-\\frac{1}{4}(x-2)$. Expanding the brackets we have $y-3=-\\frac{x}{4}+\\frac{1}{2}$. Making $y$ the subject gives $y=-\\frac{x}{4}+\\frac{7}{2}$.
Take the point $(2,3)$ as $(x,y)$ and substitute this and the gradient into the equation $y=mx+b$. This gives $3=-\\frac{1}{4}(2)+b$. Solving for $b$ gives $b=\\frac{7}{2}$. Therefore the equation of the line is $y=-\\frac{x}{4}+\\frac{7}{2}$.

Recall $-\\frac{x}{4}$ is the same as $-\\frac{1}{4}x$.

There are a few ways to approach these questions:

Use the two point formula for a line $y-y_1=\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$. Or,
Determine the gradient by $m=\\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$, or $m=\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$, and then use the one point gradient formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. Or,
Determine the gradient by $m=\\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$, or $m=\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$. Pick a point and substitute it and the value for $m$ into the gradient intercept form of a line $y=mx+b$ to determine $b$. Now you have $m$ and $b$ so you can write the equation of the line in the form $y=mx+b$.

For example, suppose we had to find the equation of the line through $(2,3)$ and $(5,1)$. Let us call the first point $(x_1,y_1)$ and the second $(x_2,y_2)$. The following are examples of using the above approaches:

Substitute $(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(5,1)$ into the equation $y-y_1=\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$ to get $y-3=\\frac{1-3}{5-2}(x-2)$ (notice we leave $x$ and $y$ as variables). Simplifying the fraction we have $y-3=-\\frac{2}{3}(x-2)$. Expanding the brackets we have $y-3=-\\frac{2}{3}x+\\frac{4}{3}$. Making $y$ the subject gives $y=-\\frac{2}{3}x+\\frac{13}{3}$.
Find the gradient, $m=\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\\frac{1-3}{5-2}=-\\frac{2}{3}$. Substitute this and $(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)$ into the equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. This gives $y-3=-\\frac{2}{3}(x-2)$. Expanding the brackets we have $y-3=-\\frac{2}{3}x+\\frac{4}{3}$. Making $y$ the subject gives $y=-\\frac{2}{3}x+\\frac{13}{3}$.
Find the gradient, $m=\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\\frac{1-3}{5-2}=-\\frac{2}{3}$. Take a point, say $(2,3)$ as $(x,y)$ and substitute this and the gradient into the equation $y=mx+b$. This gives $3=-\\frac{2}{3}(2)+b$. Solving for $b$ gives $b=\\frac{13}{3}$. Therefore the equation of the line is $y=-\\frac{2}{3}x+\\frac{13}{3}$.

Identifying y=mx+b given two points

The equation of the line $\\simplify{{a}x+{b}y+{c}=0}$ can be rearranged into gradient intercept form, $y=$ [[0]].

The equation of the line $y=\\simplify{{rise}/{run}x+{b1}}$ can be rearranged into general form, [[0]] $=0$.

Note by convention:

the coefficient of $x$ should be positive,
all the numbers should be whole numbers, and
there should be no common factors (divide out by them if you have some).
