Explain what the vertical intercept represents in this situation.

Answer:
In the equation y = mx + c the value of m is called the slope, (or gradient), of the line. It can be positive, negative or zero. The value of c is called the vertical intercept of the line. It is the value of y when x = 0. When drawing a line, c gives the position where the line cuts the vertical axis.
