An example of a linear graph is the graph formed by plotting amount of a flat tax paid against income (blue line in the picture). A flat tax is a set percentage of someone's income (say 30%). In that case the amount of taxes paid (y) is related to income (x) by the following equation:
y = 0.30x
That is a line with a slope of 0.30 and a y-intercept of ...
