Unit G2

Straight Line Graphs

Rene Descartes was the first person to relate geometry and algebra by inventing co-ordinates, which turn out to be a very powerful tool in Maths.
This unit looks at the most basic of curves (maybe you wouldn't even call it a curve); the straight line graph.

You will need some kind of graph package on your computer to complete this unit. You may have one already, but if you haven't you can download one for free from the following website:

www.hot.ee -

 

Click onto it and then click onto GraphP20_Full.exe. If there are problems with this, ask your teacher, they may be able to help or lend you a graphical calculator.

Before you start, spend some time playing around with the icons on the graph package so you know what it can do.

When you start on the individual units it would be easier to print out the question page so you do not have to keep to-ing and fro-ing between the question page and the graph plotter.

Unit 8.1 Gradients

Unit 8.2 Intercepts

Unit 8.3 Perpendicular lines
