Demystifying - Reading an equation off a graph

Drills

Finding the intercept on the y-axis and the gradient from a whole-square triangle.

Author note — to cover

Find a drawn line's equation: intercept from the y-axis crossing, gradient from a whole-square triangle, then write y = mx + c; include negative and fractional gradients and scales where one square is not one unit. Lines given as coordinate pairs without a picture sit on line-through-two-points. Both tiers. (A9, A10)
