Easy Guide: Plotting Straight Line Graphs Step by Step

Understanding Straight Line Graphs: A Comprehensive Guide explores the fundamental concepts of plotting straight line graphs step by step and understanding gradient and y-intercept in graphs.

• The guide thoroughly explains how straight line equations follow the format y = mx + c, where m represents the gradient and c is the y-intercept
• Detailed instructions are provided for plotting points by substituting x-values to find corresponding y-values
• The relationship between gradient values and line steepness is explored, including positive and negative gradients
• Methods for how to find the equation of a line from a graph are demonstrated through practical examples

Straight Line Grpahs and Equations

Page 2: Finding Equations from Graphs

This page focuses on practical applications of straight line concepts, particularly in determining the equation of a line from its graph. The method of calculating gradients using two points on a line is explained in detail.

Definition: The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.

Example: To find the gradient between points (1,1) and (3,5): m = (change in y)/(change in x) = (5-1)/(3-1) = 2

Highlight: When finding the equation of a line, first calculate the gradient using two points, then identify the y-intercept by looking at where the line crosses the y-axis.

Vocabulary:

  • Change in y: The vertical distance between two points
  • Change in x: The horizontal distance between two points
  • Points: Specific locations on a line represented by coordinates
