Plotting a relationship

I can use a graphical representation to show all of the points (within a range) that satisfy a relationship.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. A line can be drawn using coordinates found following a rule.
  2. You can check any point on the line and it will satisfy the rule.
  3. Points that are not on the line do not satisfy the rule.
  4. Points can be tested to see if they are on the line or not.

Common misconception

Pupils may join up their coordinates but not extend their line.

Lines are used to represent all coordinates that follow a rule. Unless given restrictions, lines should be infinitely long.

Keywords

  • Substitution - Substitute means to put in place of another. In Algebra, substitution can be used to replace variables with values.

  • Integer - An integer is any positive or negative whole number or zero.

You may wish to use substituting into trickier equations of lines as an opportunity to check calculator skills. Encourage the use of brackets around the x value being substituted and the arrow keys to easily change the value being substituted in.

Q3.
True or false: The coordinate (5,9) will lie on the line $$y=x+4$$
Correct answer: True- The $$y$$ coordinate equals the $$x$$ coordinate plus 4
False- The $$x$$ coordinate equals the $$y$$ coordinate plus 4
There is no way of knowing without drawing the line
