Using the straight line L drawn on a coordinate grid through (0, −2), (1, 1) and (2, 4), work out an equation that describes L.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1L crosses the y-axis at −2, so c = −2
  2. 2Gradient from (0, −2) to (1, 1): 3 ÷ 1 = 3
  3. 3y = 3x − 2

Answery = 3x − 2
