    - This document provides definitions and examples for key concepts related to graphing lines in the Cartesian plane, including quadrants, coordinates, gradients, parallel lines, and linear equations in the forms y=mx+c and y=x+a. - It explains how to identify lines parallel to the x- and y-axes, recognize direct proportion relationships where y=kx, and graph linear equations by plotting coordinate pairs. - Examples are given for common linear equations like y=x, y=x+a, and y=mx to illustrate properties like positive and negative gradients, translation, and direct proportion.

    @whisto_maths Working in the Cartesian plane


    What do I need to be able Keywords
    to do? Quadrant: four quarters of the coordinate plane.
    By the end of this unit you should be able to: Coordinate: a set of values that show an exact position.
    • Label and identify lines parallel to the Horizontal: a straight line from left to right (parallel to the x axis)
    axes Vertical: a straight line from top to bottom (parallel to the y axis)
    • Recognise and use basic straight lines
    • Identify positive and negative gradients
    Origin: (0,0) on a graph. The point the two axes cross
    • Link linear graphs to sequences Parallel: Lines that never meet
    • Plot y = mx + c graphs Gradient: The steepness of a line
    Intercept: Where lines cross

    Coordinates in four quadrants Lines parallel to the axes All the points on this line have ‘a’ can be ANY positive
    y-axis a x coordinate of 10 or negative value
    Coordinate (x, y) (6, 4) including 0

    From the origin this coordinate is


    x-axis 6 places along the positive x Lines parallel to the y axis take the form
    axis and 4 places up the positive Intersection x = a and are vertical
    y axis. points
    Will be always be a point Lines parallel to the x axis take the form
    (0, a) on the y axis. (a can be y = a and are horizontal
    (x, y) any number)
    Always the Always the All the points on this line have e.g. (3, -2) (7, -2) (-2, -2)
    position on the position on the (a, 0) Will be always be a point
    all lay on this line because the
    x axis first y axis second
    on the x axis. (a can be a y coordinate of -2
    any number) y coordinate is -2

    Recognise and use the line y=x This means the x and the y
    Recognise and use the lines y=kx The value of k changes the steepness
    of the line
    coordinate have the same
    value y = 3x y = x Note: y =x is the same as y=1x

    Examples of coordinates on this line: (0, 0) (-3, -3) (8, 8)


    y=½x The bigger the value of k the steeper the line will
    be.

    The axes scale is important – if the scale is the They will always go The closer to 0 the value of k the closer the line
    same y = x will be a straight line at 450 through (0,0) will be to the x axis.

    Direct Proportion ysing y=kx Lines in the form y = x + a Plotting y = mx + c graphs


    The line must be straight to be
    directly proportional – variables y=x+5 3 x the x coordinate then – 1
    y=x
    because the gradients are

    increase at the same rate k


    All the lines are parallel

    Draw a table to display this


    y=x-6 -10 -1 8 information
    the same

    This represents a coordinate pair


    (-3, -10)
    Direct proportion graphs always start at (0,0) as they are
    describing relationships between two variables You only need two points to form
    y=x+a a straight line

    Lines with negative gradients This is the line y=x when


    the y and x coordinate are This shows the translation Plotting more points helps you
    Any straight-line graph with a of that line.
    the same decide if your calculations are
    negative x value has a e.g. y = x + 5 correct (if they do make a
    negative gradient. Is the line y=x moved 5 straight line)
    places up the graph
    E.g. y = -2x
    5 has been added to each
    y = -x y + x = 12 Remember to join the points to
    of the x coordinates
    make a line
    Direction of all negative gradients
