Equations of Straight Lines (Foundation G4-G5)

Did you know that every straight line can be described by a simple equation? This course helps you make sense of linear equations and what they tell us about lines on a graph. You’ll learn to identify important features from equations and write equations for lines yourself. Develop the ability to spot the gradient (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) from a line’s equation (y = mx + c). This skill will help you answer many GCSE questions confidently. Create equations for straight lines when given information about them, connecting the visual world of graphs with the algebraic world of equations.
