The gradient of a linear graph determines how quickly the graph is rising or
falling
What does the slope of a linear graph determine?
Steepness and direction
Match the feature of a linear graph with its description:
Slope/Gradient ↔️ The steepness of the line
y-intercept ↔️ The point where the graph crosses the y-axis
What does the constant term c represent in the equation y = mx + c?
y-intercept
A positive
slope
indicates the graph is rising.
True
Match the type of slope with its meaning:
Positive slope ↔️ Rising graph
Negative slope ↔️ Falling graph
Zero slope ↔️ Horizontal graph
What does the y-intercept of a linear graph represent?
The value of y when x=0
In the equation y = 2x + 3, the
y-intercept
is 3.
True
What is the y-intercept in the equation y = 2x + 3?
3
To find the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + c, you look at the value of
c
The slope of a linear graph determines its
steepness
and direction.
True
A positive slope indicates that the graph is rising from left to right.
True
In the slope-intercept form y = mx + c, the variable c represents the
y-intercept
.
True
Steps to draw a linear graph using the slope-intercept form:
1️⃣ Plot at least two points on the coordinate plane
2️⃣ Use the slope and y-intercept to plot additional points
3️⃣ Connect the points with a straight line

What does the slope/gradient of a linear graph represent?
Steepness of the line
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + c, where 'm' is the
slope
Steps to draw a linear graph:
1️⃣ Choose a range of x values
2️⃣ Calculate corresponding y values
3️⃣ Plot the points
4️⃣ Draw the line
When drawing a linear graph, you can start by plotting the slope/gradient and the
y-intercept
The final step in drawing a linear graph is to connect the plotted points with a
straight line
.
