Exercises: Linear functions and line equations

Read off the slope from the graph.

For this task you need the following basic knowledge: Slope/Gradient of a line
You start from the $y$ -axis intercept (here $y = 0$ ) and go $1$ to the right and $3$ upwards.
The slope is therefore: $m = \frac{3}{1} = 3$
Think about how you could draw a gradient triangle.
For this task you need the following basic knowledge: Slope/Gradient of a line
You start from the $y$ -axis intercept (here $y = 3$ ) and go $1$ to the right and $3$ downwards.
The slope is therefore: $m = \frac{- 3}{1} = - 3$
Think about how you could draw a gradient triangle.
For this task you need the following basic knowledge: Slope/Gradient of a line
You start from the $y$ -axis intercept (here $y = - 3$ ) and go $2$ to the right and $3$ upwards.
The slope is therefore: $m = \frac{3}{2} = 1,5$
Think about how you could draw a gradient triangle.
For this task you need the following basic knowledge: Slope/Gradient of a line
You start from the $y$ -axis intercept (here $y = 4$ ) and go $1$ to the right and $1$ downwards.
The slope is therefore: $m = \frac{- 1}{1} = - 1$
Think about how you could draw a gradient triangle.
For this task you need the following basic knowledge: Slope/Gradient of a line
You start from the $y$ -axis intercept (here $y = - 3$ ) and go $1$ to the right and $2$ upwards.
The slope is therefore: $m = \frac{2}{1} = 2$
Think about how you could draw a gradient triangle.
