2 1. Rearrange the equation 2p + 1 = 11 to make p the subject. what has happened top? inverse 2 = 11 p + 1 - 1
u 2. Rearrange the equation uv + f = t to make v the subject. what has happened tov? inverse u = t v + f - f
3. Line L1 has equation y– 4x = 9, by rearranging the equation write down the gradient of the line L1 Wrong answers There is a temptation to say that the gradient is -4 (as this is what is multiplying x) or -4x = 11 y - 4x + 4x Gradient We have rearranged the equation of the line from y– 4x = 9 toy = 9 + 4x , the gradient is therefore + 4 (as this is what is multiplying x)
4. Line L2 has equation y– 6x = 12, by rearranging the equation write down the gradient of the line L2 Wrong answers There is a temptation to say that the gradient is -6 (as this is what is multiplying x) or -6x = 12 y - 6x + 6x Gradient We have rearranged the equation of the line from y– 6x = 12 toy = 12 + 6x , the gradient is therefore + 6 (as this is what is multiplying x)
2 5 (b) By rearranging the equation 2y – 6x = 12 to make y the subject write down the gradient of the line 2y – 6x = 12 There is a temptation to say that the gradient is -6 (as this is what is multiplying x), -6x or + 6 (taking -6x across the equals). Wrong answers 2 = 12 y - 6x + 6x Gradient If we divide the top of the fraction by two we get: y = 6 + 3x The gradient of the line is 3, as this is multiplying x.
5 (c) A student looks at the equation 2y – 6x = 12and writes down the y-intercept as equal to 12. Explain whether the student is correct or not. rearranged equation y = 6 + 3x general equation y = m x + c gradient y-intercept 6 =
