Show your working. Gradient = rise ÷ run; the equation of a line can be written as y = (gradient)x + (y-intercept).
Answer: gradient −5; y-intercept −6
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 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: gradient 2; 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: 1
- gradient = rise ÷ run = (−1 − 1) ÷ (−1 − 1)
- = −2 ÷ −2 = 1
Answer: 1
- gradient = rise ÷ run = (2 − 0) ÷ (8 − 6)
- = 2 ÷ 2 = 1
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: gradient −3; 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 −1; 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: gradient 1; y-intercept 7
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 = (18 − 6) ÷ (2 − (−2))
- = 12 ÷ 4 = 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.
