This document discusses methods for finding the equation of a straight line in coordinate geometry. It defines the x-intercept as the x-coordinate where the line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept as the y-coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis. It presents different methods for calculating the gradient (slope) of a straight line, including using two points on the line, the x and y-intercepts, or a general formula relating the change in y over the change in x. Worksheets are also provided for practicing these methods.
