Real-life graphs (Edexcel GCSE Maths): Flashcards

Visual representations of everyday situations with measurable data

Assuming each square equals one unit

$£50 \div 10 = £5$ per square

One-off charge that doesn't change regardless of usage

Y-intercept (where line crosses y-axis)

Cost that changes depending on usage

Gradient (steepness) of the line

Rate of change between two variables

Higher rate of change (more expensive per unit)

Lower rate of change (cheaper per unit)

Speed

Where lines cross; both options cost exactly the same

Option with lowest starting point

Option with gentlest gradient

Vertical change divided by horizontal change
