To help draw a straight line graph from its equation, fill in a table of 𝑥 and 𝑦 values. Plot the pairs of values as coordinates and join to make a line. Make sure you are confident with ...
Any straight line graph has a constant gradient, which is calculated by the change in 𝑦 divided by the change in 𝑥, along any section of the graph. The gradient is measuring the steepness of the ...
Margaret Wertheim gave a talk for the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute at their 2016 annual Summer School. We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the ...
