Gradients of straight line graphs

Draw a triangle to show the steepness of the slope of the straight line graphs:

a) y = xb) y = 2xc) y = 3xd) y = 4xe) y = 5xf) y = -xg) y = -2xh) y = -3x

Gradient AND intercept of straight line graphs

On an x – y grid, draw a triangle to show the steepness of the slope, and position the triangle to show where the straight line graph crosses the y-axis for the following:

a) y = x + 1b) y = 2x + 1c) y = 3x +2d) y = 4x +3e) y = 5x + 2f) y = -x - 1g) y = -2x + 3h) y = -3x - 2
