Demystifying - The line through a point with a given gradient

Drills

Substituting the point into y = mx + c to find c, then writing the equation out.

Author note — to cover

Find the equation of the line with a given gradient through a given point by substituting the point into y = mx + c to find c; include negative and fractional gradients and points with negative coordinates. The two-point version is the sibling; perpendicular gradients are Higher. Both tiers. (A9)
