$\textsl{Answer.}$

See Below.
$\bigtriangledown\!\!\!\!\bullet$

$\leadsto\overline{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}\curvearrowleft$

$\textsl{Explanation.}$

Let's examine our equation first

$\textmd{y=mx+c}$ . In which "m" denotes "gradient"
$\&$ "c" denotes "y intercept".

$\mid\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\odot\mid$

But now you should notice something.

$\bullet$ The quantity that denotes the gradient is multiplied times x.

$\bullet$ The quantity that denotes the y intercept is added to the gradient times x.

$\textsl{that's how we can find m and c in the equation!}$

Hope that this helped! Best wishes
