Support (from Y8 teaching programme)
• Plot the graphs of linear functions, where y is given explicitly in terms of x , on paper and using ICT; r ecognise that equations of the form y = mx + c correspond to straight-line graphs

Extension (from Y9 objectives for able pupils)
• Investigate the gradients of parallel lines and lines perpendicular to these lines
• Plot graphs of simple quadratic and cubic functions, e.g. y = x 2 , y = 3 x 2 + 4, y = x 3

What happens when the gradient gets bigger / smaller / negative?

Give set of equations and set of graphs to match. How did you work it out?

Using equations of straight lines, can you create a square ? Explain what happens when two lines are perpendicular?
