GCSE subject content
GCSE specifications in mathematics should require students to plot graphs of equations that correspond to straight-line graphs in the coordinate plane; use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel and perpendicular lines; find the equation of the line through two given points, or through one point with a given gradient
Tier: This item is set in standard type: all students develop confidence and competence with it. “use the form y = mx + c to identify parallel” and both “find the equation ...” clauses are underlined; “and perpendicular lines” is bold (Higher tier only).
