Straight line graphs - EduqasCoordinates

y = mx + c is an important real-life equation. The gradient, m, represents rate of change (eg, cost per concert ticket) and the y-intercept, c, represents a starting value (eg, an admin. fee).

Coordinates

Coordinates show a position of a point or points on a graph or grid. The point (0, 0) is called the . The point (2, 4) means the coordinates are two units to the right in the \(x\)-direction and four units up in the \(y\)-direction.

Set of axes, showing point (2,4)
