You can then simplify this equation to other forms, such as the slope intercept form, where the equation of the line is expressed as y = mx + b, with b being the y intercept, or the point where ...

Find the gradient and y-intercept for the straight line with equation \(2x + y - 13 = 0\). Rearrange the equation into the form \(y = mx + c\) using the algebraic rules for solving equations.
