These points are on
a straight line.
Naming sloping lines -4 1 -5 -3 -2 2 3 5 4 -1
They have coordinates
(-5,0), (-3,2) and (-1,4)
To find the equation of the line, find a rule connecting the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate.
(-5 , 0) (-3 , 2) (-1 , 4) +5 +5 +5
The rule to find the y-coordinate is ‘add 5 to the x-coordinate’
The equation of the line is y = x + 5

7. Coordinates: (0 , 4) (1 , 3) (3 , 1) x y-4 1 -5 -3 -2 2 3 5 4 -1
The equation of the line is x + y = 4
Coordinates: (0 , 4) (1 , 3) (3 , 1)
0 + 4 = 4
1 + 3 = 4
3 + 1 = 4
The rule is ‘x-coordinate plus y-coordinate equals 4’

8. Writing equations Rule Equation
Copy the following rules and re-write them as equations:
Rule
Equation
‘Add 5 to the x-coordinate to get the y coordinate.’
‘x-coordinate minus 3 equals y-coordinate.’
‘x-coordinate plus y-coordinate equals 7
‘Multiply x-coordinate by 3 and subtract 4 to get the y-coordinate.’
y = x + 5

19. You can draw sloping lines using a table of values.
E.g. Draw the line with equation y = 2x + 1
1. Choose some values for x such as –3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
2. Draw a table like this: x -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 y -5 -3 -1 1 3 5 7
3. Work out 2x + 1 for each value of x
For example, when
X = -1, y = (2 x –1) + 1
These are our coordinate pairs

21. This grid shows the line with equation y = 2x + 2-4 1 -3 -2 2 3 -1 5 4 -5
The line crosses the y-axis at the point ( 0, 2 )
This point is called the intercept.
The intercept of a line is the point ( 0, ) where the line crosses the y-axis.
The number in the box is the value of y when x = 0.
Pupils copy down box information on intercept

22. The intercept is (0 , 5). The intercept is ( 0 , 5 ). Example 2
Find the intercept of the line
y = 5 - 3x
Example 1 1 -4 -3 -2 2 3 -1 5 4 6 7 8 9

The intercept is the point

Put x = 0 into the equation.
The intercept is the point
( 0 , ).
Put x = 0 into the equation
y = 4 x 0 + 5
y = = 5
y = 5 – 3 x 0
y = 5 – 0 = 5

26. Using graphs Wednesday 2nd March Objective:
To be able to read and interpret graphs.
Using

27. A graph shows a relationship on a coordinate grid.
What do graphs show?
A graph shows a relationship on a coordinate grid.
And across to
the length axis
a) When the mass is 0kg, the spring is 10cm long
b) 19cm
c) 1.5kg
Read up from
the mass axis
Sam and Anna are testing a spring. This graph shows the relationship between the length of the spring and the mass hung on it.
Use the graph to find:
The length of the spring with no mass on it
b) The length of the spring with a mass of 4.5kg
c) The mass needed to make the spring 13cm long.

28. Using a scale Graphs often have different scales on each axis.
The most common scales are:
The factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
The multiples of 10: 10, 20, 50, 100
You work out a scale like this:
On the y-axis, 10 small squares is 50 units so 1 small square is
50 ÷ 10 = 5
Ex 12I page 200 any questions 1-5
On the x-axis, 10 small squares is 5 units so 1 small square is
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5

29. Graphs in all 4 quadrants
You can use this graph to convert temperatures between degrees Fahrenheit (0F) and degrees Celsius (0C)
Use the graph to convert –500C into 0F
You need to be able to use graphs in all four quadrants.
Read down from –500C
The answer is –600F
And across to the vertical axis
300C =
1000F
-100F =
-260C
00C =
400F
-700C =
-550F
1600F =
600C
