Finding the Equation of the Line (B) WORKSHEET

This worksheet will see your learners forming equations of straight lines from given information and vice versa, using equations to state the gradient and y intercept.

In section A, students are given the gradients of sixteen straight lines as well as a coordinate on the straight lines. In each case, pupils will write the equation of each straight line in the form y = mx + c. In the instances where the coordinate given is not the y intercept, students will have to use substitution to find it.

Next up, students are given thirteen different equations and they will have to state the gradient and y intercept of each. However, some of the equations will need rearranging beforehand as they are not all in the form y = mx + c.

Section C provides three further problems involving equations of straight lines.

Gradients are integer and fractional, positive and negative.
