Finding the Equation of the Line (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet will see your learners finding the gradient, y-intercept and equations of straight-line graphs and between two points. As well as drawing graphs from equations without using a table of values to generate coordinates.

In section A, students are faced with ten straight-line graphs on individual axes. They will calculate the gradient and find the y intercept before writing out the equation of each straight line.

Section B is similar but also includes two questions where only two points on a graph are given.

Then in section C, pupils will draw five graphs from their equations and are encouraged to do so only using the y intercept and gradient.
Gradients are integer and fractional, positive and negative.
