1) it intersects y=0 at x=0.
2) it is a straight line.
3) it's range is negative infinity to positive infinity
4) It's domain is negative infinity to positive infinity
5) Unlike other y=mx+c lines, this only intersects at 1 point of the coordinates.
6) the value of m(the gradient) determines how steep it'll be, and if it's positive, it'll be a strictly increasing line(from left to right), and vice versa for negative m.

This line passes through the origin. It has a y-intercept at y=0, and an x intercept at x=0. If m is positive, the line slopes to the right. If m is negative, it slopes to the left.

It is the non vertical line that passes through the origin;
y=mx means that it has a finite slope m and b=0 y intercept.

It is a line that intersects the origin and it will have the slope of m.

it is a line with a slope that intersects the cartesian plane at the orignan.

It passes through the origin, the point(0,0).
