Applying y=mx+x to Gibbs free energy equation

I meant y=mx+c in the title

Can someone explain to me how to apply the equation of a straight line to the Gibbs free energy equation,

G =

H - T

S

Thanks

Your variable is T (hence that is the 'x'...)

Hence -1*(delta S) is m (the gradient)

And deltaH is the c term.

May help to swap rouund to write delta G = -delta S * T + delta H.
