Description

In this unti we develop understanding of linear relationships and explore the key features of a linear equation such as the gradient, intercept and determining an equation from coordinate pairs.

In this unit we continue to build on knowledge developed in the previous work on sequences and build confidence in how a linear sequence produces a linear relationship. We represent that graphically along with development of understanding of the equation of a line, positive, negative relationships and the idea that a linear sequence can produce an infinite set of points.
