Week 4: Linear equations

This week we are interested in linear relationships, the equation of a straight line and how to solve linear equations. Can you remember the gradient and intercept? Can you solve linear equations?

You can use a calculator for doing the calculations, but try to do the straight line questions without using a graphical calculator.

How did you get on with the questions?

You can check your answers here with the worked solutions.

If you could confidently solve all the questions, you are ready for next week's topic.
If you had some issues with the questions, use the HELM workbooks below to revise the topics for this week.
