y=mx+c
Where m = gradient = difference in y divided by the difference in x

The Intercept form


http://www.vitutor.com/geometry/line/intercept_form.html
The General form
ax+bx+c=0
Unknown node type: br
Angle between points is given
If you are given an angle (Θ) and you must determine the gradient: The tangent of the angle is the gradient of the line: tanΘ = m
The equation is given
y=mx+c
m is the gradient.
Two points are given
m=y2−y1x2−x1
Parallel lines
If two lines are parallel, their gradients are the same.
Perpendicular lines
If two lines are perpendicular, their gradients are opposite and inverse of one another.
