Straight Line Graphs

 

Y = mx + c

This is a visual aid to help pupils learn about straight line graphs using a computer graph plotting program such as Autograph, an online Graph Plotter or a Graphic Display Calculator (GDC). The challenges are presented one at a time in increasing order of difficulty. Pupils need to reproduce the images projected on to the whiteboard using their graph plotting software.
