Linear Functions: y = x + c WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet on linear functions provides an exploration of graphing and interpreting straight lines in the form y = x + c.

In Section A, learners will complete tables of values for linear equations and plot them on graphs.

Section B challenges students to identify y-intercepts and write the corresponding linear equations, reinforcing their understanding of how changes in equations affect graphs. Section C builds on this by having students use tables of values to derive equations.

Finally, Section D pushes students further, asking them to find the equations of lines passing through three pairs of points, encouraging problem-solving and application of key concepts.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
