This is the symbol for the 'y intercept' of a straight line. In the case of a line on the \(xy\)-plane, \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000096}{f}(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x})\), it is the value of \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000096}{f}(0)\)
This is the symbol for the 'y intercept' of a straight line. In the case of a line on the \(xy\)-plane, \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000096}{f}(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x})\), it is the value of \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000096}{f}(0)\). It is commonly used in conjunction with the gradient of a line (\( \htmlClass{sdt-0000000131}{X} \)lineGradient) to get the \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y} = \htmlClass{sdt-0000000131}{X}lineGradient \htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x} + C\) form of the equation for a straight line.
The symbol \(C\) represents the 'y intercept' of a straight line. In the case of a line on the \(xy\)-plane, \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000096}{f}(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x})\), it is the value of \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000096}{f}(0)\). It is commonly used in conjunction with the gradient of a line (\( \htmlClass{sdt-0000000131}{X} \)lineGradient) to get the \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y} = \htmlClass{sdt-0000000131}{X}lineGradient \htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x} + C\) form of the equation for a straight line.
