Chapter 4: Linear relationships Notes
Graphing straight lines with intercepts, horizontal and vertical lines, gradient and y = mx + c, finding the equation of a line, midpoint and distance, and parallel and perpendicular lines.
Sections
-
4A Graphing straight lines Mastered
Sketching lines using the x- and y-intercepts, lines through the origin, and horizontal and vertical lines.
-
4B Gradient and y = mx + c Mastered
Gradient from rise over run and from two points, gradient-intercept form, rearranging equations into y = mx + c and sketching using the gradient and y-intercept.
-
4C Finding the equation of a line Mastered
Finding the equation of a line from the gradient and a point, from two points, and from a graph, using y = mx + c or y − y₁ = m(x − x₁).
-
4D Midpoint and distance Mastered
Finding the midpoint of an interval, the length of an interval using the distance formula, and finding an endpoint from a midpoint.
-
4E Parallel and perpendicular lines Mastered
Parallel lines have equal gradients, perpendicular gradients multiply to −1, and finding equations of parallel and perpendicular lines through a point.
