Title: Linear Graphs
Learning Objectives
Level 6
To be able to demonstrate how to construct a table of values from a linear equation and use these to draw a linear graph.
How can these methods help us in the real world?
To be able to explain the properties of a graph of the form y=mx+c without drawing the graph and use this information to quickly plot the graphs.
What do the numbers in the equation y=mx+c tell us about the graph?

Plotting Equations
We are now going to use equations to construct graphs (the first step is to construct a table of values) and then plot the points onto a single set of axis.
Remember your table only needs to include three points (the lowest value of x, the highest value of x and mid-value).
Now you should have noticed a connection between the gradient, point the graph crosses the y-axis and the equation.
