 A straight line goes through the points (−4, 2), (2, 5) and (4, 6).

a Draw the line on a grid. b Find the gradient of the line.

Below are the equations of four straight lines.

A: y = 4x + 10 B: y = 10x − 4 C: y = 4x − 4 D: y = −10x + 4
Write down the letters of:
a two parallel lines b a line that passes through (0, 10)

c two lines that pass through (0, −4) d a line with a negative gradient.

Below are the equations of five lines.

A: y = 2x + 3 B: y = 3 − 2x C: y = 2x − 3 D: y = −3 − 2x E: y = −2x + 2
Which lines are parallel?

Find the gradients of the lines with these equations.

a y = 5x + 2 b y = 5 + 2x c y = −5x + 2 d y = 5 − 2x
A graph has the equation x + 2y + 4 = 0.
a Show that this is the equation of a straight line.

b Find the gradient of the line.
