Why this why now

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.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Rearrange equations into y = mx + c form
  • Use tables of values to plot lines
  • Identify features of straight-line graphs

Graphical representations of linear equations

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.
