We are trying to help our daughter with her revision but we have all come to a grinding halt on the maths practice paper because we cannot understand the question regarding straight line graphs. We have revision guides, workbooks and practice papers but after reading all of these we are still none the wiser. My hubby is nothing short of a maths wizard and my daughter follows suit but this has us completely floored. I've looked on BBC bitesize but no joy there. Any suggestions????

There you go jostar, problem solved!!!!! lol
I am so rubbish at maths i would be of absolutely no use whatsoever with revision or homework like this! If your hubby is a wiz at it and even he cant do it, how do they expect the kids to go on? sorry i cant be of any use to you but good luck, maybe the more of that wine you drink, the clearer it will become!

I agree with Suzyboo - what was the Q that was set by your daughter's tutor ?
A straight line graph is just a linear equation expressed in terms of x and y. For example, y = mx plus c where m is the gradient and c is the intercept (where it crosses the y axis) (and as per normal, x is the horizontal axis and y is the vertical axis.....)
As I can feel your eyes starting to glaze over, have a wee look at this site. You can adjust m and c to see what effect they have when x=y. Hopefully that will clarify things!
