Graphical representations of linear equations

Downloads can take a few minutes, especially for larger files or slower connections.

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.
