Gradient and line equations

Straight line on coordinate axes with y-intercept at (0,3) and a gradient triangle showing rise -4 and run 2

A straight line is described by how steep it is and where it crosses the yyy-axis. In the equation y=mx+cy = mx + cy=mx+c, mmm represents the gradient and ccc is the yyy-intercept.

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel A Level Maths Straight Line Graphs for A Level Maths. Each lesson breaks down 5.1 y = mx + c, 5.2 Equations of Straight Lines, 5.3 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, 5.4 Length and Area, and 5.5 Modelling with Straight Lines, then works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Build fluency with the core pure algebra and calculus toolkit early, since almost every mechanics and statistics topic on the course depends on it.
