x y Straight Line Graphs (y = mx + c) m gives the gradient of the line and c gives the y intercept. All straight line graphs are of the form y = mx + c The gradient is defined as the rise/run rise = 3 run = 1 y intercept = -4 y = 3x - 4

x y Straight Line Graphs (y = mx + c) m gives the gradient of the line and c gives the y intercept. All straight line graphs are of the form y = mx + c The gradient is defined as the rise/run rise = 2 run = 1 y intercept = 3 y = 2x + 3

x y Straight Line Graphs (y = mx + c) m gives the gradient of the line and c gives the y intercept. All straight line graphs are of the form y = mx + c The gradient is defined as the rise/run rise = 1 run = 2 y intercept = 1 y = ½x + 1
