Yr 9 Linear Graphs
Linear and Non-linear graphs
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Cartesian Plane | |
Quadrant | |
Substituting | |
Parallel Lines | Lines with the same gradient |
Perpendicular Lines | Lines that meet at right angles |
Negative gradient | Line is sloping downwards |
Positive gradient | Line sloping upwards ( from left to right) |
y-intercept | The point where a line cuts the y-axis. Found easily when substituting 0 for x and calculating the y-value. |
x-intercept | |
variables | |
undefined | |
circle | |

Non-Linear relations | |
Vertical Lines | The gradient is zero |
Straight Line | formula is y=mx +c |
Linear Graphs | A straight line graph |
Parabola | |
Horizontal Lines | The gradient is undefined |
Gradient | Measures the steepness of a lines slope |
Line segment | |
Intercept | |
Midpoint | x & y coordinates halfway between oths of the end points |
Sketching | Using two points draw a line through those points, you don't need a ruler |
