Sketching Equation of Straight Line Using Gradient & Y-Intercept ActivInspire & PowerPoint Lesson

Maths GCSE lesson on sketching the equation of a straight line using the gradient and y-intercept. Includes investigative task which students should conclude what makes lines parallel or perpendicular. Also covers lines of the form x = c and y = c.

Please note this is two of five lessons on equations of straight lines:

1. Finding gradient and y-intercept both from the graph and by inspecting the equation
   2) Sketching the equation of a straight line using the gradient and y-intercept
2. Plotting equations of a straight line using a table of values
3. Finding the midpoint of a line segment
4. Find the equation of a straight line using algebraic substitution

Includes examples, learning check, two tasks and a challenge task.

PowerPoint and ActivInspire formats included.
