Straight line graphs- straight line graphs can be
horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The equation of the
line for a diagonal straight-line graph is y=mx+b/
y=mx+c. m (gradient) b/c (y-intercept).
Zero slope (horizontal) eqn. Of line - y=b
Undefined slope (vertical) eqn. Of line- ∆x=0
y 2− y 1 rise
Gradient- m= or m=
x 2−x 1 run

Exponential graphs

Exponential graphs- Exponential graphs are graphical


representations of exponential functions.
Growth- Exponential growth occurs when there is an
increase in both x and y values. The gradient rapidly
increases. Eqn. y=2 x
Decay- Exponential decay occurs when both x and y
values decrease. The gradient rapidly decreases. Eqn.
