Linear Functions

This document provides examples of linear functions and asks the reader to: 1) Find equations of lines given gradient and a point, or two points. 2) Determine the gradient and y-intercept of given linear equations. 3) Calculate gradients between pairs of points. It then provides the answers to these examples in turn.
