In order to graph linear equations by finding intercepts, we must remember what an x and y intercept are. So remember that in an x-intercept it’s the y that equals zero, and for the y-intercept it’s ...
Plot points with coordinates where \(x\) and \(y\) are equal. Three points are sufficient, but more can be plotted. Draw a line through the plotted points. If \(x\) is positive, \(y\) is negative. If ...
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 ...
In order to work with gradients and straight lines successfully, a good understanding of coordinates and linear graphs is needed. The gradient of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the ...
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 ...
