F3. Gradient and intercept : intercept

The straight line, y=mx+c is plotted on a graph. A and B are two points anywhere on the line. The y-intercept of the line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (the point of intersection of the line and y axis). Use your mouse to move A or B. The y coordinate of this point of intersection has the value c.
