links between the equations and the graphs of linear functions Main 1: links between the equations and the graphs of linear functions Using a table of values, plot each of these graphs accurately: Y = 4x – 3 Y = 2x + 1 Y = 0.5x – 5 Y = 0.25x +2 X Y 3 2 1 -1 -2 -3 Ext. What do you notice about the relationship between the plotted graph and the equation of the line?

This is the general form of a linear equation: y = mx + c Main 2: describe how the equation affects the graph of linear functions This is the general form of a linear equation: y = mx + c What does the m do to the graph? What does the c do to the graph?
m = gradient; the bigger the value of m, the steeper the line Main 2: describe how the equation affects the graph of linear functions y = mx + c m = gradient; the bigger the value of m, the steeper the line c = y intercept; this is the y value when the line cuts through the y axis.
