Show your working. Gradient = rise ÷ run; the equation of a line can be written as y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept).
Answer: gradient −4; y-intercept −8
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: gradient 6; y-intercept 0
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: gradient −1; y-intercept 9
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: gradient 5; y-intercept 1
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: gradient −6; y-intercept −5
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: −3
- gradient = rise ÷ run = (−1 − (−4)) ÷ (−2 − (−1))
- = 3 ÷ −1 = −3
Answer: gradient −3; y-intercept 3
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: −2
- gradient = rise ÷ run = (−12 − (−4)) ÷ (−1 − (−5))
- = −8 ÷ 4 = −2
Answer: gradient 4; y-intercept 9
In y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the gradient and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: −3
- gradient = rise ÷ run = (−6 − (−3)) ÷ (−2 − (−3))
- = −3 ÷ 1 = −3
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
