If you understand the definition of a mathematical function, a good way to judge it is that any line drawn parallel to the y-axis intersects with the values in the function’s curve only once. The same ...

Lines which are parallel have the same gradient. For example, \(\text{y = 2x + 1}\) and \(\text{y = 2x - 2}\) will be parallel because they both have a gradient of 2. We want to determine if the lines ...

In order to work with gradients and straight lines successfully, a good understanding of coordinates and linear graphs is needed. The gradient of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the ...
