Yr 8 Linear Graphs
Co-ordinates & Linear Graphs
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Coordinates | Describe a position on the Cartesian Plane. |
Origin | Where the x and y axis intersect. The coordinates are (0,0) |
x- axis | x- axis is the horizontal axis |
y-axis | y-axis is the vertical axis |
Coordinates are written as | (x,y) |
Alphanumeric | grid references for a map Letter number |
Cartesian Plane | Describes the location on a plane by using two numbers as coordinates |
Quadrants | The axes dividing the Cartesian Plane into four sections |
Linear Pattern | Patterns forms a straight line |
Non Linear Pattern | Patterns do not form a straight line. |
Linear functions | Linear rules f(x)= |
Gradient | Measure of steepness |
Gradient formula is....... | m=rise/run |
Rise..... | Is the vertical distance between any two point on the line |
Run..... | Is the horizontal distance |
y-intercept | Is the y-intercept of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. |
Rule for all Linear graphs is...... | y=mx + c |
In the rule for all Linear graphs the 'm' is y=mx + c | The 'm' is the gradient |
In the rule for all Linear graphs the 'c' is y=mx + c | The 'c' is the y-intercept |
In the rule for all Linear graphs the 'y & x' is y=mx + c | The 'y & x' are the variables |
When sketching linear graphs | Only two point are needed |
When two graphs intersect..... | The two equations share the same x and y coordinates. This point is the solution to the two equations. |
