Equations of Straight Lines (y = mx + c)

The general equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Gradient = rise/run; positive for uphill, negative for downhill.
To find the equation from a graph: find gradient using a triangle, read off y-intercept, substitute into y = mx + c.
If y-intercept is not visible, substitute a known point into y = mx + c and solve for c.
Horizontal lines: y = c; vertical lines: x = k.
Rearrange equations like ax + by = c into y = mx + c to identify gradient and intercept.

y = mx + c

Drawing Straight Line Graphs

Create a table of values for x and y, plot points, and join with a straight line.
Use at least 3 points to ensure accuracy.
Alternatively, start at y-intercept (c) and move up m units for every 1 unit right (down if m negative).
For equations in form ax + by = c, find x-intercept (set y=0) and y-intercept (set x=0), then plot.
If gradient is a fraction a/b, go a units up for every b units right.

Drawing straight line graphs from their equations

Parallel Lines

Parallel lines have the same gradient.
Equation of a line parallel to y = mx + c is y = mx + d (different y-intercept).
To find a parallel line through a given point: use same gradient, substitute point to find d.

Parallel lines

Perpendicular Lines

Perpendicular lines meet at right angles (90°).
Gradients m₁ and m₂ satisfy m₁ × m₂ = -1 (negative reciprocals).
To find a perpendicular gradient: m₂ = -1/m₁.
To find equation of perpendicular line: find negative reciprocal of given gradient, substitute point to find c.
A perpendicular bisector cuts a segment in half at right angles; passes through midpoint.

## Linear Graphs - Quick Revision ### Equation of a Straight Line - **General form**: \(y = mx + c\) - \(m\) = gradient (steepness, positive uphill, negative downhill) - \(c\) = y-intercept (where line crosses y-axis) - **Finding equation from graph**: 1. Find gradient using \(m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\) (draw a triangle) 2. Read off y-intercept \(c\) 3. Substitute into \(y = mx + c\) - **If y-intercept not visible**: substitute a point \((x,y)\) into \(y = mx + c\) and solve for \(c\) - **Horizontal line**: \(y = c\) - **Vertical line**: \(x = k\) ### Drawing Straight Line Graphs - **Using table of values**: choose x-values (e.g. 0, 5, 10), compute y, plot points, join with ruler - **Using gradient and intercept**: start at y-intercept, move 1 unit right and m units up (or down if negative) - **If equation not in \(y = mx + c\)**: rearrange first, e.g. \(ax + by = c\) → \(y = -\frac{a}{b}x + \frac{c}{b}\) - **Alternative for \(ax + by = c\)**: find x-intercept (y=0) and y-intercept (x=0), plot and join ### Parallel Lines - **Same gradient** (\(m_1 = m_2\)) - Equation parallel to \(y = mx + c\) is \(y = mx + d\) (different y-intercept) - To find parallel line through a point: use same gradient, substitute point to find \(d\) ### Perpendicular Lines - **Gradients multiply to -1**: \(m_1 \times m_2 = -1\) - Gradients are **negative reciprocals**: \(m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}\) - To find perpendicular line through a point: 1. Find gradient of given line 2. Compute negative reciprocal 3. Substitute point into \(y = mx + c\) to find \(c\) - **Perpendicular bisector**: passes through midpoint of segment, gradient is negative reciprocal of segment's gradient ### Key Tips - Always plot at least 3 points when drawing - Check if lines are parallel/perpendicular by comparing gradients after rearranging to \(y = mx + c\) - For perpendicular lines, ensure you use the negative reciprocal correctly

Gradient (m): The steepness of a line, calculated as rise/run. Positive for uphill, negative for downhill.
y-intercept (c): The y-coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0).
Equation of a straight line: y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Parallel lines: Lines with the same gradient that never intersect.
Perpendicular lines: Lines that meet at right angles (90°); their gradients multiply to -1.
Negative reciprocal: For a gradient m, the negative reciprocal is -1/m. Used to find perpendicular gradients.
Perpendicular bisector: A line that cuts a segment into two equal parts at a right angle; passes through the midpoint and has gradient negative reciprocal of the segment.
