1F: Graphing Straight Lines


Checking if a point is on a line…

?
Equation of a straight line:

𝒚 =𝑚 𝒙+𝑐
gradient -intercept

𝑦 -intercept
the line crosses the
-axis at +1

𝑥 𝒚 =2 𝒙+𝟏
gradient
1 unit right,
2 units up
the value of the value of

𝒚 =𝑚 𝒙+𝑐
gradient -intercept

𝑦 𝒚 =2 𝒙 -intercept
the line crosses the
-axis at +1

𝑥 𝒚 =2 𝒙+𝟏
gradient
1 unit right,
2 units up
𝒚 =2 𝒙 −𝟐
the value of the value of

𝒚 =𝑚 𝒙+𝑐
gradient -intercept

𝑦 𝒙 =2 a vertical straight line graph has


an undefined gradient

𝒚 =1
𝑥 a horizontal straight line graph has
a gradient of 0
𝒚 =𝑚 𝒙+𝑐 The equation of a straight line can take many forms.

gradient y-intercept
𝑦 =3 𝑥 +3 0
𝑦 =4 𝑥 − 2 +4 −2
𝑦 =7 0 +7
𝑦 =𝑥 − 3 1 −3
Make sure you rearrange the
equation into the form: 𝑦 =5 − 2 𝑥 −2 +5
y = mx + c 𝑥
𝑦=
2
−8 0.5 −8
“isolate the y”

𝑦 =12 − 𝑥 𝑥+ 𝑦 =12 −1 +12


Plotting graphs using the gradient & -intercept.

Plot the graph of

1) Mark the -intercept.

2) Use the gradient to find the


‘next’ coordinate.

“For every 1 across, 2 up.”

3) Plot the line & check!


Plotting Graphs: Method 1
Plotting graphs using the gradient & -intercept. ①

Plot the graph of

1) Mark the -intercept.

This does
2) Use the gradient NOTthe
to find necessarily
mean 1 square!
‘next’ coordinate.

“For every 1 across, 3 up.”

3) Plot the line & check!


Plotting graphs using the gradient & -intercept.

Plot the graph of

𝑦 =2 𝑥 −3
1) Mark the -intercept.

2) Use the gradient to find the


‘next’ integer coordinate.

“For every 1 across, 2 up.”

3) Plot the line & check!


Plotting graphs using the gradient & -intercept.

Plot the graph of

1) Mark the -intercept.

2) Use the gradient to find the


‘next’ integer coordinate.

“For every 1 across, 2 down.”

3) Plot the line & check!


Plotting graphs using the gradient & -intercept. ③

Plot the graph of

𝑦 =1 − 4 𝑥
1) Mark the -intercept.

2) Use the gradient to find the


‘next’ integer coordinate.

“For every 1 across, 4 down.”

3) Plot the line & check!


Plotting Graphs: Method 2
To plot a straight line,
how many points
do we need?

𝑥+ 𝑦 =7
When = 0, = ?

When = 0, = ?
To find two points easily,
we will make = 0,
then make = 0

𝑦 =8 − 4 𝑥
𝑦 =0 𝑥=?
(2, 0)

𝑥=0 𝑦 =?
(0, 8)
To find two points easily,
we will make = 0,
then make = 0

𝑦 =2 𝑥+ 3
𝑦 =0 𝑥=?
(-3/2, 0)

𝑥=0 𝑦 =?
(0, 3)
