Form 4 Mathematics Chapter 5

The document discusses key concepts from Chapter 5 on straight lines in Form 4 Mathematics including: 1) How to calculate the gradient of a straight line using rise over run or tangent of the angle of inclination. 2) How intercepts are the points where a straight line crosses the x or y axis. 3) The standard equation of a straight line as y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. 4) How two lines intersect at the single point that satisfies both line equations. Parallel lines have the same gradient.
