4 - The equation of the straight line given
its slope and its y – intercept

The equation of the straight line with respect to its slope (m ) and its
y – Intercept ( c ) is

?? = ???? + ??

Slope ( m ) The part intercepted
Coefficient of x From the y – axis =c
And its length = ????

Examples:

1) Find the slope of the straight line 3x + 4y -5 =0 in the two different methods
then find the length of the y – intercept

M = -??
??

4y = -3x + 5

Y = -?? x + ?? y intercept = ??
?? ?? ??
