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 ...

The graphs of \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = 2x - 2\) are shown below. The graph of \(y = 2x + 1\) crosses the \(y\)-axis at (0, 1). The graph of \(y = 2x - 2\) crosses 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 ...

A mathematical function is a formula that takes an input, x, applies a set of calculations to it, and produces an output called y. By calculating a function at a large number of set intervals, it is ...

If an equation can be rearranged into the form \(y = mx + c\), then its graph will be a straight line. In the above: \(x + y = 3\) can be rearranged as \(y = 3 - x\) (which can be re-written as \(y = ...
