Linear Models (HSC SSCE Mathematics Standard): Flashcards

Mathematical representations of real-world situations

$y = mx + c$

Gradient (rate of change)

Vertical intercept (starting value)

$m = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}$

Rate of change

Value of $y$ when $x = 0$

Initial or starting value

Gradient and vertical intercept

Always include units
