Linear Functions (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Linear Functions (A) will review lines parallel to the x and y axis as well as introduce straight lines in the form y = mx + c.

Section A kicks off with lines parallel to the x and y axes. Pupils have to label these lines with the correct equations.

In section B, pupils will plot 12 functions on their own coordinate grids using tables of values. We have included lines with the same gradients yet different y intercepts to enable pupils to begin pattern spotting and making connections. Coordinates will be plotted in all four quadrants and four of the lines have a negative gradient. Ensure pupils are equipped with a pencil and ruler before they start drawing their straight lines.

In section C, students are given various equations and must complete three coordinates of their graphs.
