What does a linear graph look like

Question 1

What does the graph of linear function look like?

y = mx + c

Answer 1

It is a straight line

Question 2

What does m in the linear function represent

y = mx + c

Answer 2

It represents the gradient

It measures the slope of the line

Question 3

When m is positive, what does the line look like

y = mx + c

Answer 3

The gradient is positive and slopes upwards from left to right

Question 4

When m is negative, what does the line look like

y = mx + c

Answer 4

The gradient is negative and slopes downwards from left to right

Question 5

What does c in the linear function represent

y = mx + c

Answer 5

It represents the y intercept

It is where the line intercepts the y-axis

Question 6

When c is positive, what does the line look like

y = mx + c

Answer 6

The line intercepts the y -axis above the x-axis

Question 7

When c is negative, what does the line look like

y = mx + c

Answer 7

The line intercepts the y -axis below the x-axis

Question 8

Identify the gradient and y intercept

y = 2x + 3

Answer 8

gradient is 2

y intercept is 3

Question 9

Identify the gradient and y intercept

y = 2x - 3

Answer 9

gradient is 2

y intercept is -3

Question 10

Identify the gradient and y intercept

y = -2x - 3

Answer 10

gradient is -2

y intercept is -3

Question 11

Identify the gradient and y intercept

y = -2x + 3

Answer 11

gradient is -2

y intercept is 3

Question 12

Which linear function is this

y = 9x + 9

y = 9x -9

y = -9x + 9

y = -9x - 9

Answer 12

y = -9x - 9

Question 13

Which linear function is this

y = 9x + 9

y = 9x -9

y = -9x + 9

y = -9x - 9

Answer 13

y = 9x - 9

Question 14

Which linear function is this

y = 9x + 9

y = 9x -9

y = -9x + 9

y = -9x - 9

Answer 14

y = 9x + 9

Question 15

Which linear function is this

y = 9x + 9

y = 9x -9

y = -9x + 9

y = -9x - 9

Answer 15

y = -9x + 9
