55 mins - Finding the equation of the line from its graph

Mark homework – gradient sheet (5-10 mins)

Starter: Recap y = mx + c (15-20 mins)

- What does ’m’ show?
- What does ‘y’ show?
Activity: Mangahigh – Graphs of the Galaxy
- What do they notice about the lines that have positive and negative gradients?
Using the graph of stars, student construct lines of equations from graphs
Practice: 10 ticks worksheet (20-25 mins)
Extension: Back to Mangahigh – achieve a gold

Plenary: Assessment notification (5 mins)

All straight line equations are written in the form of:

y =𝑚 𝑥 +𝑐
This is the gradient.
(the slope of the line)
We find this by taking
2 points on the line
and calculate the
ratio:
This is the y - intercept.
(where the line crosses
the y-axis)
We find this substituting
in x = 0 into the
equation.
All straight line equations are written in the form of:

y =𝑚 𝑥 +𝑐
• When the gradient is positive, the
line is increasing
This is the gradient.
• When the gradient is negative, the
(the slope of the line) line is decreasing

We find this by taking • When the gradient is zero, the line

2 points on the line is horizontal
and calculate the
• When the gradient is infinite, the
ratio:
line is vertical
Find the equations of lines that cross through given points.
