The graph cuts the y axis at (0,3) because it cost £3 to join the video shop before you hired any videos. For every square that you move to the right you go two squares up because the cost of each video is £2.

This was the number of squares you went up for each one you went along.This is called the gradient of the line. Finding A Formula. Look at the table of values for the video hire once again: Find a formula for the cost of videos (C) given the number of videos (V) : C = 2V + 3 From the graph we saw that :

More About The Gradient. The gradient (m) of a straight line is defined to be: Change in vertical height. Change in horizontal distance. We are going to use this definition to calculate the gradient of various straight lines:
Find the gradients of the straight lines below: (1) (2) (3) 4 7 m = 4 3 7 4 m = 3 4 4 4 m = 4 4 m = 1
(5) (6) 8 9 6 3 8 4 9 m = = m = = 3 6 3 3
(b) (d) (a) (c) (e) Negative Gradient Consider the straight lines shown below: Can you split the lines into two groups based on their gradients ? Positive gradient Lines (a) (c) and (d) slope upwards from left to right. Negative gradient Lines (b) and (e) slope downwards from left to right.
Calculate the gradients of the lines below: (1) (2) - 4 - 8 5 6
The Equation Of A Straight Line. To find the equation of any straight line we require to know two things: (a) The gradient of the line. m = gradient. (b) The y axis intercept of the line. c = y axis intercept. The equation of a straight line is : y = m x + c Examples. Give the gradient and the y axis intercept for each of the following lines. (1) y = 6x + 5 (2) y = 4x + 2 (3) y = x - 3 m = 6 c = 5 m = 4 c = 2 m = 1 c = - 3
y y (1) (2) x x Finding The Equation. Find the equation of the straight lines below: What is the gradient ? m = 1 What is the y axis intercept? c = 2 c = 1 Now use y = m x + c y = x + 2
y y x x m = -2 (3) (4) c = 3 y = -2x + 3 c = -2
y y (6) (5) x x c = 2 c = 6
y2 y2-y1 y1 x2-x1 x1 x2 Gradient of line: The Gradient Formula. The Gradient Formula. It shows a straight line passing through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Look at the diagram below: We must calculate the gradient of the line using the triangle shown: Change in vertical height: y2 – y1 Change in horizontal distance: x2-x1
Gradient of line: Calculate the gradient of the line through the points below: (2) C(-4,8) and D(6,-10) (1) A(4,6) and B( 10,12) Solution: Solution: Write down the gradient formula: Substitute in your values: Calculate and simplify:
Straight Line From Two Points. Find the equation of the straight line passing through (4,6) and (8,12) Solution: Now substitute one of the points into y = m x + c to find c. Find the gradient of the line: Sub’ (4,6) into y = 3x +c : 6 = 3 x 4 +c c + 12 = 6 c = - 6 Substitute gradient into y = m x + c. Now write down the equation of the straight line: y = 3 x + c y = 3x - 6
Find the equation of a straight line passing through C(6,-7) and D(-12,9) Solution. Now substitute one of the points into y = m x + c to find c. Calculate the gradient: Sub’ (6,-7) into equation: Substitute gradient into y = m x + c. c = -23 Equation of the straight line:
