In y = mx + c, what does the c represent?
the amount of cents
the constant c, represents the x-intercept
the constant c, represents the y-intercept
the gradient of the line
What is y-intercept?
the x-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the x-axis
the x-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y-axis
the y-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the x-axis
the y-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y-axis
Which of the following statements are correct?
