All straight line graphs have an equation that can be written in the form 𝑦 equals 𝑚𝑥 add 𝑐, where 𝑚, the coefficient of the 𝑥 term, is the gradient or slope of the line. The constant, 𝑐, is ...
Any equation that can be rearranged into the form \(y = mx + c\), will have a straight line graph. \(m\) is the gradient, or steepness of the graph, and \(c\) is the \(y\)-intercept, or where the line ...
To help draw a straight line graph from its equation, fill in a table of 𝑥 and 𝑦 values. Plot the pairs of values as coordinates and join to make a line. Make sure you are confident with ...
Any straight line graph has a constant gradient, which is calculated by the change in 𝑦 divided by the change in 𝑥, along any section of the graph. The gradient is measuring the steepness of the ...
