What is $y = m x + c$ ? Explain

Open in App

Solution

$y = m x + c$ is the equation of a straight line where $m$ is the slope, $c$ is a constant and
$y$ is the $y$ intercept (the point where the line crosses the vertical $y$ -axis).
For example: $3 x - y = - 3$ can be written as $y = 3 x + 3$ where slope of the equation is $3$ and $y$ -intercept is also $3$ (By putting $x = 0$ )
