In North America, a grade-separated junction may be referred to as a grade separation or as an interchange â in contrast with an intersection, at-grade, a diamond crossing or a level crossing, which are not grade-separated. 1 Effects.
Find the gradient of the line passing through (a, b) and (0, c). Intercepts. The x-intercept of a line is the point at which it crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept of a line is the point at which it crosses the y-axis. In the diagram to the left the y-intercept is at A and the x-intercept at B. The second diagram shows a line parallel to the x-axis and it has a y-intercept at C. The third diagram shows a line parallel to the y-axis and it has an x-intercept at D. Equation of a straight line. When we plot points which satisfy the equation. y = 2 x + 1 we find that they lie in a straight line.
