Topography and ecology

Lake Butig lies in the southern part of Lanao del Sur at the foot of the Butig Mountain range. It is located specifically at the Barangay of Pindolonan, Butig, Lanao del Sur. At 500 meters above sea level, the lake is a magnet for visitors seeking to cool off where a swimming resort has been set up owing to its invigorating climate. The surrounding forest has been known to house at least four species of birds: hornbills, parrots, woodpeckers and wild ducks. Other fauna includes Philippine monkeys, Philippine deer and wild pigs.[2]

gollark: The important thing is how much y increases each time x goes up by 1, which is the gradient.
gollark: I think so, yes. Generally I would take the equation (y = 3x + c) and substitute in one of the points' x and y values, but I guess for this that works.
gollark: You have the value when x = 1.
gollark: No, the y intercept is the value when x = 0.
gollark: Why?
