Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Today we are learning to … draw lines represented by equations.
Revised how to draw a line given an equation of the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Used the TI-83 calculators to observe properties e.g. lines with equal gradients are parallel.
