Dynamic software can be used to investigate how the gradients affects the line.
Dynamic software can be used to investigate how the intercept affects the line.
Dynamic software can be used to investigate connections between lines, coordinates, tables and algebraic representations

From the line $y=x$ to $y=x+1$ to $y=x-1$ the lines are moving left/right rather than up/down.

It can be shown by using a $(x,c)$ coordinate in desmos. That coordinate moves up and down with the change in ' $c$ '.

Gradient - The gradient is a measure of how steep a line is.
Intercept - An intercept is the coordinate where a line or curve meets a given axis.
